There are things that you can learn from it, you probably do have a hand in being a bad fit, but it doesn&#8217;t mean that someone is a bad SE or employee<\/span><\/p><br \/><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2- It\u2019s important to understand what value we bring to a company, good fit or bad. That will help us understand what we need to improve on, or at a minimum allow us to be aware of our weaknesses.<\/span><\/p><br \/><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">3- A common mistake I see is that people try to improve in multiple areas all the same time. It\u2019s the shiny object&#8217;s syndrome. I find it much more efficient to focus on one area, improve there, and when we\u2019re at a level acceptable to us, we work on another.<\/span><\/p><br \/><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">4- Many organizations drop an SE in, don\u2019t provide goals or structure, and then a few months later are told they are not hitting the previously not given goals. Take ownership of this and make sure to work with the management team to set clear expectations. That usually helps make something a good fit. <\/span><\/p><\/div><div>\u00a0<\/div><h4>\u00a0<\/h4><h2 style=\"font-size: 25px;\">1 Tool:<\/h2><div>\u00a0<\/div><div><p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><a style=\"color: #0000ff;\" href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3vcswVe\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Intention Journal<\/span><\/a><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> + <\/span><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><a style=\"color: #0000ff;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.getrocketbook.com\/?rfsn=1973373.519b97\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rocketbook<\/span><\/a><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (both are affiliate links)<\/span><\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On the podcast with Cristelle, she asked me about my calendar, and I showed her a piece of paper with my schedule on it.
