Q1 What made you choose this company? I have always had a strong desire to
embrace any challenge that piqued my interest.

With my sights set on becoming an IT engineer in the future, I pursued studies in the field of information security during my university years. However, I never anticipated that the knowledge I gained would directly translate into practical work. What I learned has served as a foundation for my engineering career. As I prepared to enter the professional world, I nurtured a deep aspiration to broaden my horizons through continuous learning and absorb new knowledge at every opportunity. It was this mindset that sparked my interest in TechnoPro IT, a company known for its diverse range of industries and technical domains.

Interestingly, during my student days, I held the belief that "any job will do" as long as I could work on something that piqued my interest. Whether it was software development or infrastructure management, I was determined to approach each task with curiosity and pursue it relentlessly. I communicated this attitude prior to joining the company, and it was this very mindset that caught the attention of my current group leader, who saw me as an "interesting guy". I consequently embarked on my journey within the company, contributing my expertise to infrastructure construction for a prominent construction firm.

I distinctly recall the first time I visited a client company and wondered, "Will I truly be able to make a meaningful impact here?" Despite having specialized in information systems during my university studies, I felt apprehensive. However, I refused to dwell on those uncertainties. It was a demanding period when I joined, and I was entrusted with challenging assignments from the outset. Through practical experience, I received guidance on each aspect and witnessed a steady growth in my skills. Before long, I realized that I had developed a wide range of capabilities, enabling me to tackle diverse tasks with confidence.

Q2 What is your current job? Skills pollished through practical experience.
Consistent growth under the guidance of a respected manager

Since joining the company, I have been involved in infrastructure development for a construction manufacturer, and as of 2021, I am in my third year. The first project I tackled was a transition and implementation project from Windows 7 to 10, for a large-scale enterprise with over 30,000 users. It was not just a matter of migrating the operating system; I had to ensure compatibility with numerous applications that had been previously used. It was an immensely rewarding project as my first assignment.

Amidst the demanding workload, the person who provided unwavering support was Mr T.O., who was my team leader at the time and now serves as the group leader. Mr T.O. not only provided technical guidance but also frequently took me out for drinks after work, and attentively listened to my thoughts and experiences. So, when Mr T.O. moved on to another assignment a year later, it honestly came as a shock. It meant losing a valuable colleague from our client's organization. However, that is when I truly became self-reliant as an engineer. I made a firm decision to strive for recognition as a competent professional. Since then, I have proactively engaged in negotiations with client personnel, among other endeavors.

Time has flown by, and I have now been stationed at the client's company for three years. Although I joined as a rookie, I have now risen to the position of team leader. I have been entrusted with mentoring the new team members who joined last year and guiding senior engineers who recently joined our team. It is undoubtedly a challenging role. However, I find that this situation has had an immensely positive impact on my growth. It has allowed me to uncover aspects I had previously overlooked and exposed me to new ways of thinking that I had not yet embraced. If I had solely focused on my technical skills as an engineer, I believe I would not have had the opportunity for such enriching experiences.

Q3 What is your future career plans? The key is to focus on developing your human skills.
Striving to become an in-demand engineer

Until now, I have mostly been involved in client-related tasks, but I also have a strong interest in taking on server operation responsibilities and expanding my technical expertise even further. Going forward, I aim to broaden my knowledge and skills in my field. Additionally, I recognize the importance of enhancing my personal abilities. Within our company, there is a development project called the "New Graduate 5-Year Plan," in which I am participating. The objective is to cultivate engineers who possess not only technical prowess but also strong interpersonal skills. The goal is to foster professionals who can gauge others' emotions and improve their communication abilities, combining technical expertise with outstanding human qualities. It is rare to find an IT company with such a well-established support system as ours.

On the technical side, my current objective is to continue embracing new challenges while striving to become a well-rounded professional, known for maintaining composure even in demanding situations. At present, I occasionally find myself feeling overwhelmed when unexpected issues arise. This is why I have deep respect for our group leader, Mr T.O, who consistently demonstrates a calm and measured approach. I aspire to develop the ability to approach problem-solving in a systematic manner. This growth will allow me to move forward on the path towards assuming leadership roles in the future.

In addition to Mr T.O, there is another individual I greatly admire. This person is a seasoned engineer from a partnering company where I am currently assigned. Often referred to as the "walking database," they possess an extraordinary ability to provide precise answers to any question within seconds. Not only do they possess extensive knowledge, but they also possess a charismatic and reliable personality. They embody the very essence of an "ideal" professional. My ultimate goal is to become an engineer of their caliber. At TechnoPro IT, there are not only many opportunities to work with exceptional leaders and mentors in the IT industry but there is also a platform for inspiring encounters such as this.

How I spend my days off

I am often commended for my ability to effortlessly switch between work and personal life. Despite being perceived as someone beyond their third year of experience during work hours, once work concludes, I am often told, "You suddenly seem your age" (laughs). On my days off, I enjoy indulging in app games on my smartphone. During periods of rest, I prefer to completely disconnect and allow my body to rejuvenate.

Message to Job Seekers

When choosing a company, it is essential to opt for an organization that encourages relentless exploration of your interests and aspirations. If, like me, you have a keen interest in infrastructure and development, TechnoPro IT is the ideal choice for you. Remember, knowledge can always be acquired over time, so there's no need to worry. It's crucial to find someone you can collaborate with and enjoy working together.
