I have learned to communicate with the co-workers efficiently and try to seek their help if required. I do not hesitate or feel uncomfortable while asking for help from them. When I am communicating I make sure that the conversation is effective and it reaches the client on time. I try to make sure that when I am explaining an issue I also provide a solution of it accurately or recommend properly. I have learned to become creative and innovative in my work field. I have also learned about the importance of team work and group work and how to relate with them efficiently. I learned how to interact with colleague and be in a work environment. This will help me in my future while I will be working in some company.
The leadership that was followed there was transformational leadership this type of leadership encourages the workers to work dedicatedly and comfortably. The working environment gets influenced by the leaders in such areas(Walker and McLean 2013). The leader in my company too had this motivating tendency. Initially I was not forced to meet my target in the company. I was asked to learn about the incident and working system of the organization so that I can perform well once I get an idea. This helped me to take initiative to voluntarily solve the problem by investigation and inquiring from the clients. I was said by the leader that I was a fast learner and that motivated me further to grasp the whole responsibility in a short span of time. I was taught to concentrate on the problems and then decide to take the necessary step. This helped me a lot in my future days. I have followed this quality in my personal work life as I got influenced from my leader I decided to take initiative to resolve the issues myself with critical analysis and technical thinking. Soon I was able to meet my fear and achieve the desired goal I wanted to reach. However, I was not allowed to live work as I was a fresher but the lack of confidence was no more present in me and I was sure about my working skills. I also learned from here that thorough analysis and following the procedure is very important to understand the problem and resolve the issues.
Leadership
The importance of team work is very important in every work field. The teams must work with full co-ordination else it will be difficult to perform with quality production. The work field ambience describes the working environment and types of production the workers are giving. Team work is very important in every working culture. The team work culture in this company is comparatively high and there is sufficient understanding and co-ordination among the workers. The workers are really helpful and compatible with each other. During my initial stage of internship I was very nervous regarding my skills and the environment. The approach from the workers side was highly acceptable and friendly and I gained much confidence about my work life only from their approach pattern. Later on I realized that they were equally helpful to me while my internship was going on. During my work time I often got stuck in few areas and it became really difficult for me to understand the issue. These workers had helped to solve the issue and the challenges efficiently. I did not hesitate to seek help from them as I felt I was learning more and educating myself from these experienced workers. The work environment can be further improved if the workers are getting more scopes to communicate with each other. Every time a fresher comes they can be accommodated with an experienced worker to get a better idea about the working system and responsibility. This will also increase the communicating scope among the workers.
I have future plans to study further and gain more knowledge in my academic life. Before taking any decision I would analyse few things such as:
- The field where I want to continue my education with
- The field that has higher scope of prosperity
- The job role that will fit my previous academic skill
- The job vacancy
- The job field from where I can expand further and prosper
Depending on these factors I will determine how I will proceed with my future plans. The future plans will include either job or education or may be job with education but that will be completely dependent on the chances of the options meeting my criteria. I am sure enough that educating myself will be one of the most evitable factor of my life. However, I will be also in touch will the academic sessions of my university and will attend all the important lectures and seminars in the year that will improve my knowledge. The primary reason to work is that I want to gain live experience from the real working system. In academic life will gain knowledge only from the bookish knowledge. However, in job life I will be meeting the different live challenges of daily life that help me to gain more knowledge in comparison to the academic life. Along with this I will continue with distant course that will help me to cover few other areas of work and courses.
Teamwork
The need for IT professional is extremely high in present days. The technology advancement has crippled the society without the IT professionals(Janowitz 2017). The IT professional are saviour for the general society who do not have much idea about how to meet the challenges faced from the technology. Every day there issues related to the digital objectives that we are using in our daily life. Thus, an IT professional is required in every field. The use of technology is readily accepted in society thus the IT professionals are also highly accepted in the society. IT professionals should thoroughly scrutinize the problems and resolve them with judicious decision making. In this field it is very important to identify the true and real problem that is related to the work and make necessary changes in that. The stake holders who has interest in IT field are almost every one. The need for a well -established technology system in every field that includes government, personal, corporate. The information technology needs to grow its roots in every field for a betterment in every field and must make sure that they are working swiftly(Tam 2015).
The discussion has already discussed about the incidents that has happened with me during my work life. The time period of this intern was not long, however, I faced many incidents and issues that I have solved myself and that gave me immense pleasure and confidence about my work skill. The work field was relatively compatible and adjusting, I never had any issue with anything or anyone. Instead I was guided and supported by everyone. Being a fresher and new comer everyone accepted me readily and guided me for my required responsibility. The working days were full of new experiences and incidents that taught me how to deal with problems and mitigate them. The primary days were much easier and comforting as I had no work to do. As days passed by the work pressure got imposed but at the same time I learned many things like how to scrutinize a problem, how to meet them, how to communicate, how to install new things. These were highly beneficial for my carrier. I faced new challenges every day that improved my knowledge. I learned to reflection observation and my responsibilities were clear to me. The WIL that helped me the most was problem solving and design. This helped to get a better conception about the ways to reach the customers issue and meet them accordingly. The most important aspect of my work life is this, as I felt so. It included following daily routine, understanding the requirement and solving the incident. The daily routine made me more confident about my work life as days passed by and I became conscious about my job role and became aware of my work. The strategies included how to improve the identifying ability, ability to break down the requirement into small pieces, the ability to look for the effective ways and the ability to perform concrete steps for executing the action. This helped me to understand and solve the issues effectively. The concept that has been implemented in me from this study will help to meet problems in future job life also. These have enlightened my skills and made me confident enough to meet the regular issues smartly and efficiently. The purpose of this study has been successful per my idea as I have full confidence in myself about meeting the daily challenges imposed by the customers in my work life. Earlier I did not have so much confidence to meet the challenges and was feared that it was never possible for me to do the work. However now I am confident enough to meet the challenges and I also know what to do when I am unable to solve them directly.
