И ещё пару моментов по следам вебинара Managing project communication:
3️⃣ Communication plan is a powerful tool that can help you organize communication on the project. It should answer the following questions:
📌Who will you communicate with?
📌What will be communicated? (e.g. status report)
📌How often will you communicate? (e.g. monthly)
📌How will you communicate? (e.g. at the leadership meetings, by email, etc.)
4️⃣ If you lead a meeting, keep the following rules in mind:
📌keep the number of topics to be discussed in one meeting at a minimum, be aware of information overload
📌use visuals and charts
📌use simple terminology - avoid jargon, slang and terms that may not be universally understood
📌speak clearly and ask specific questions rather than “yes”, “no”, “do you understand?”
📌be aware of non-verbal cues from stakeholders that may indicate a lack of understanding

🧑💻На прошлой неделе мы ещё и воркшоп провели. Наша преподавательница, которая работает в международном ИТ-рекрутинге, рассказала, как подготовиться к ситуационным вопросам на интервью. 📌📌📌Bullet points воркшопа:
📌Situational questions are designed to highlight your true strengths, weaknesses and characteristics without directly asking you what they are. Such questions can start with, for example:
Tell me how you approached a situation where...
📌You can use STAR technique to answer such a question:
⭐️Situation
⭐️Task
⭐️Approach
⭐️Result
📌If you are asked a situational interview question that you don’t know how to answer because you’ve never been in such a situation, you can say:
I’ve never found myself in such a situation. If I had such a situation, I would... (and continue with using second conditional)
Это не все. Завтра продолжим, а пока вы можете посмотреть запись воркшопа по ссылке

📌You can prepare for your next situational interview by coming up with a few examples of:
✔️challenges
✔️mistakes/failures
✔️conclusions (what you’ve done differently)
✔️accomplishments
✔️conflicts
✔️drive
✔️leadership
using STAR technique
📌You can also check a job description and come up with a story for when you’ve previously performed each skill listed in your job ad

👥Сложно переоценить важность фидбека. Мы даем и получаем фидбек от студентов и преподавателей, и знаем, каким сложным может быть коммуникация в команде или компании без культуры фидбека. Мы руководствуемся feedback-giving rules by Brené Brown:
📍I know you I am ready to give feedback when:
📌I'm ready to sit next to you rather than across from you;
📌I'm ready to put the problem in front of us rather than between us;
📌I'm ready to listen, ask questions, and accept that I may not fully understand the issue;
📌I want to acknowledge what you do well instead of picking apart your mistakes;
📌I'm willing to own my part;
📌I can talk about how resolving these challenges will lead to your growth and opportunity

Вас не поняли? Попробуйте так:
📌The reason for the late start to the meeting was because of today’s tube strike.
📌One possible explanation/reason for the fall in profits could be the weakness of sterling against the US dollar.
📌Let me explain, if we were to implement the changes too soon, we’d have a huge problem on our hands.
📌What I mean is, I don’t think we’ll get the necessary funding this year.
📌This has been a much-needed wake-up call. In other words, it’s been a warning that was needed.
📌Let me put it/this another way, if we don’t accept their proposals now, they’ll go somewhere else/elsewhere.
📌The thing is, there’s no simple explanation to what went wrong.

💁Soft skills, hard skills... а теперь мы еще говорим о hybrid skills!
Тренд hybrid skills диктуется следующими направлениями:
📌Big Data and Analytics
📌Intersection of Design and Development
📌Sales and Customer Service
📌Digital Technologies
Гибридные навыки – это комбинация навыков, которые никогда раньше не нужны были для единой роли (например, использование Big Data алгоритмов в маркетинге). Примеры гибридных ролей в компании: технические рекрутеры или аналитики по Digital Security
📌И это хорошие новости для свитчеров! Проанализировав ваш опыт и навыки, вы скорее всего поймете, что ваш путь от стажера или студента IT-курсов пройдет быстрее, чем вы думаете.
На примерах
✔️Soft skills: creativity, persuasion, collaboration, adaptability, and time management.
✔️Hard skills: cloud computing, artificial intelligence, analytical reasoning, people management, UX design, translation, audio production, natural language processing, scientific computing
✔️Hybrid skills (if you work as non-tech specialist): social media, updating websites, designing presentations, working with databases, match skills,strategy.
