Finding yourself early is an advantage because the world is changing faster than ever.
Let’s grow your career path through knowledge-sharing sessions under the topic, “Learn, understand, and upskill to design the right career path for yourself.” by Wutthikorn Kongprasopkij, Vice President of Engineering at “Tech ConNEXT Job Fair 2023: Designing Your Life”
What is the Digital Age? How does it impact the nature of work, both now and in the future?
The Digital Age involves technology becoming increasingly integrated into our lives, from watching movies to online transactions. While these activities might not seem to affect work directly, they impact how we work.
Many companies, especially tech companies and startups, are adopting work-from-home and remote working policies, using apps and programs to facilitate communication and collaboration among teams. This allows for more flexible work arrangements, enabling employees to choose their work location and schedule.
Additionally, as hybrid, work-from-home, or work-from-anywhere models become more common, organizations might seek employees from different countries. New graduates need to adapt by setting global standards for themselves, including language skills and cultural awareness, to succeed in a diverse workforce.
How should talents adapt to work efficiently in the present and future work environments?
In the context of Bitazza’s policies on remote and flexible work, time management and self-management skills are essential, as they impact mental health.
Collaboration with colleagues, which can be challenging in a work-from-home setup, is addressed using technology. Bitazza uses the Gather program to strengthen team interactions, and face-to-face meetings are arranged in co-working spaces when necessary.
Furthermore, Mr. Wutthikorn also left some advice for the new generation of newcomers who are about to step into the workforce. For recent graduates who are concerned about entering a company that requires remote work or have never been to an office before, the first thing to do is adapt. It’s essential to reach out to colleagues or supervisors more often. If there’s no one overseeing us, we must take the initiative to approach our supervisors and increase interactions with colleagues.
Excellent techniques for talents to showcase skills and experiences effectively, making them stand out in a competitive market.
One crucial technique is the art of presentation. When it comes to presenting your Technical Skills, it’s advisable to highlight your fundamental or core skills. In today’s world, tools and instruments for various tasks evolve rapidly. Having a grasp of the foundations of different subjects will allow us to further excel in our work.
Moreover, possessing broad knowledge is equally vital. Employees with a broad knowledge base can connect the dots across various fields, even those seemingly unrelated to their main line of work. This ability enables them to create innovative solutions. In a competitive job market, combining knowledge with swift problem-solving skills is highly significant.
In summary, whether you’re looking for a job or new opportunities, the world changes quickly. Regardless of your background or role, you can learn everything online. Besides adopting a growth mindset, a business mindset, technical skills, and soft skills, your flexibility to match the times is vital. These skills will help you succeed in your own career path.
