Age 31-32 (8) Certificate for software developer
After I lost the job, I resumed my study for the national certificate for a software developer.
I've been good at logic and principles of computers since I was in university, which was great advantage to this test. Still I needed to supplement knowledge for it.
Fortunately, I had gained the motivation to learn about systems more on the job, where I was just a small piece of the work system.
I learned by myself about computer networks, databases, estimation of efficiencies of systems, methods to develop a system, the concept of system integration, algorithms, data structures, and application of these pieces of knowledge.
It was really exhausting thinking seriously about every piece of logic the model problem for the test required. All I could do was just copying exercise books with a pen, and ponder what I wrote later, dividing into small pieces and sometimes simplifying.
When the test finished I was too exhausted to say a word.
It was two months later that I knew I passed.
It seemed to me that my future was turning much brighter.
Perhaps I might start my job hunting all by myself, gaining confidence by the success in this exam.
At least, I was confident enough to talk, if not spontaneously, to recruiters from ICT companies.
