(Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim)
Just like other recent college graduates, I have also applied to couple of jobs and had interviews over phone. Some of those interviews had one common question - What is your experience aside of academia. Hmm......... I don't have any industry level experience since I haven't done any internship...(Mic drop and Call drop)
Well that doesn't mean I just wasted my pastimes for last four years doing nothing. Indeed I have done number of fun projects, many of them being programming projects. However, my biggest draw back is my callousness towards documentation. Even though, I have worked as research assistant in multiple professors' labs, if somebody asks me what is the most interesting thing you have done as an Engineer I won't be able to answer since I didn't document my works well enough.
That's one of the reasons why I started writing blogs now - to DOCUMENT all my works from now on. It doesn't really matter how many likes do I get or how many followers do I get, I will be able to pull my works out of my blogs to describe to others. Also, I will be able to easily pass my work on to others if they would be willing to develop those projects. I believe I will be able to find at least half an hour every day to write down any new and cool stuff I have learned.
I will end my first blogger post right here.
