    • RE: Elements of a good IT career

      To me, growth. I have a very good friend. I only have four people who aren't family I consider my best friends. The one I'm referring to is unlike the other three in many ways. The interesting thing about him is that I can be brutally and completely honest with him, more than even my own parents. He doesn't judge me based on a lot of the things my other friends do. Some of that's good, some of that's bad. Ok, now the back-story is out of the way.

      He gave me some advice back in my days of retail. I worked with him and he taught me a lot about IT but more about life and work.

      The single most crucial thing he taught me was this...

      When you **** up, admit it. When you've done something stupid and you know it, or, if you have done something stupid and don't realize it, and you're being pulled in to speak to your manager/supervisor/boss or whatever you call the person you report to, don't hide it. Don't beat around the issue. Don't get defensive and try to make excuses. Own up to it. Just face it head-on. People are let go not because of stupid actions. People are let go because of stupid attitudes. Fighting the person critiquing you shows you don't care to grow/change/fix the real issue. At that point, you've lost your value to the employer. If you accept to them and yourself what you did and understand why you are being talked to, you can move forward. People are hired to do a job. Messing up just comes with the territory. No matter the job, you will screw up. How you handle it shows a lot about you as a person. If it's a bad action but you have the right attitude, you'll be fine. A bad action with the wrong attitude and you no longer have any value.

      That is basically what he told me. I apply this in all aspects of life. While I don't always address issues as I should, when a matter is brought before me, I face it. Delaying what is going to happen does no good and often makes things much worse. My 2¢.
