Today I want to share with you a lesson I have learned over the past 3 years. Until I was 25, I often wondered “what do I want to do?” and tried to study different things (from calligraphy to cyber security). Realizing that I needed to move in one direction, I decided to take on a job that I could do without much effort. I came across a vacancy for a call center operator and responded to it. When I received an offer for a job, the first thing I thought about was the opportunity to improve my diction, since I (even to this day) do not always pronounce some words clearly.
At that time, I did not think about continuing my career in the bank. I just liked helping people, telling them how to use the bank’s services. But I got tired of the routine work, and after half a year of working as an operator, I told the management about my desire to leave the bank. By this time, some members of the management managed to notice my diligence and I was offered another job, which I found interesting.
After working there for a little over a year, I again expressed my desire to leave, but I did not find the alternative positions offered to me interesting and was ready to simply leave to nowhere.
But fortunately for me, later a job was found in another department of the bank, which I did not even know about, and I was recommended to my future boss. At first, the new job seemed difficult and incomprehensible to me, but my new boss showed great patience, thanks to which I was able to “survive” and hold on to the new job. Now, having worked there for a year, I got my long-awaited position of “analyst”. In parallel, while studying on the Internet, I came across a free course on data analytics from Google. Imagine my surprise when I found out that I had completed half of this course, even before I got a job at the bank 3 years ago. I am talking about my surprise because I abandoned many courses without studying even a quarter of the material. It turns out that even then I wanted to study data analytics, I just did not know how to apply this knowledge.
All this happened only because I “continued” to move on.
I didn’t change my job or do something completely different. Of course, I can’t say that this is entirely my merit, since I’ve often been lucky with my bosses, but the essence remains. And now, when I think about whether I should write, it seems to me that all I need is to simply not stop writing. At least a little, but the main thing is constantly.
