Learn, Adapt, Repeat – Essentials to Land Your First Job (And Thereafter)

Imagine the days when your average self, back in your college, living the life like there is no tomorrow. First year a bond was formed, second year - it grew to become what we call as friends for life, third flew like a bird and the fourth, in some cases, vanished with an oath. An oath that we will all live happily ever after, just like these grad years – an oath that almost all of us, one way or the other, still pursues or at least tries to.

Once we graduate, we are christened and welcomed into a new world of taking responsibilities and commitments. A world where we have to take care of ourselves (!), earn our own money, (more like spend our own money) and be our own man (or woman). This is when it all starts to go south. But what if it does not have to?

After a lot of thought and research, the following have proven to be the essentials that we all need to secure our career and, subsequently, our life.

1.       Learn the technology that interests you or (and) the one that you are just good at.
By learning and developing a career in a field of your interest, the work becomes easy. And when your work is easy, your day becomes easy and you do not need to hide from it; rather actually enjoy doing it.

2.       Adapt to latest developments – refine and re skill yourself with time
What may be hot today may get replaced by a hotter object soon. Thus, it is imperative to keep up with the growing technologies in the field of your interest so that your skill set does not become obsolete.

3.       Repeat the process of Learning and Adapting – continuous development is the key.

With the technological developments that we have now, it is all possible to Learn, Adapt, repeat while also balancing the grad life. Online training and training on the go; one such platform that provides every student’s personal college on the cloud is iTrack. Say, for instance, a student who would like to learn java programming language but also wants to spend time with family and friends as well. Enter, online java course for students and professionals. These training not just teach but you can also practice labs, do projects, take internships, and more - all at the comforts of a place you desire and at your own spare time. It is simple; you enroll to an online college on cloud, learn and utilize the courses, labs, projects, and internships, adapt to latest developments and repeat even after you land your first job. It is win-win situation; so remember people – Learn, Adapt, Repeat!
