Signs of Inexperienced Engineer

Got this great posting from ericsson’s blog, and I think those are relevant for all workers, not just for engineers. Very nice, son.

Signs of inexperienced engineer:

1. Doesn’t do continuous study. Does job based on previous experiences only.

2. Doesn’t have problem analysis capability. Cannot grasp the “point”.

3. Cannot assist the growth of other unskilled engineer.

4. Doesn’t pay good attention on product. Doesn’t pay good attention on field condition.

5. Compromise easily.

6. Cannot determine whether development requirement for a technology is high or low.

7. Creates product based on specification without having interest in why it must be based on the specification.

8. Doesn’t show effort to get outside information.

9. Doesn’t listen to other people’s opinion. Not cooperative.

10. Always make up excuses.

If you have just 3 of them, then you are still “green”.

So, am I green? 4 out of 10, men. I think I’m ‘yellow’
