WEEK 13

This week was to build our Resume and to continuo with HyperSkill. Around this days I had a blocker to finish the stage 3/5 in HyperSkill. Also, the application fail for a whole day because Jet brain had some problems to run the projects.I have been watching recommendations to make an developer interview.

HyperSkills

This week was kind of frustrating in HyperSkill. The project that I'm working on is Code-Sharing-Platform. It's an app to share code where I'll learn about databases. I'm really interested in Database topics because I don't know anything about them. It was disappointing to have the blocker run the program because of an Error from Jetbrain in the configuration. It cost an entire day to fix it. Then, after I run my project, it had some errors that I fixed. However, the stage didn't want to pass because this application has a specific solution, template, or something that marks wrong my code when it does the comparison. But if you shake the results in the Postman, you can see there's not difference in my outcoming with the examples.

I could see hyperkills had some configuration problems. Sometimes the error is more from Jetbrain than yours. It's difficult to have a service assistant when you find something unusual. The main idea about a training app in development it's really interesting. I think it's good, it has potential. But to improve, they need to pay more attention to the assistance.

Something that I learned from this situation is the many ways to make a sort in a list. One of my problems was that I was changing my entire list instead to make a copy and then change the collected data. In other words, how to make sort in an immutable list. Someting that worked for me was:
List newList = new ArrayList(unmodifiableList);

This blocker took me almost 2 days to fix. It was a combination of Jetbrain fault and my own.

Resume and interview's preparetion

All this program has the purpose to let me a job with an Encora's client. Then, it's important to actualize my Resume for any moment when I need to sell myself. I have been watching recommendations to answer interview problems, questions, and situations that I can face.

One of the things I have worked it's the answer to my strengths and weakness. I did an online test to check what kind of personality I have. It also says what is my weakness. Usually, I know about my strengths but I have problems seeing my weaknesses. It's not because I don't have them. It's because I can't avoid feeling bad when I talk about the things I don't like about myself. I'm afraid to look vulnerable when I am supposed to show reasons to be hired. Then I realize it's not complicated at all. This exercise brought me a better way to see this interview's questions. It's not about showing my weakness, it's about showing how I'm overcoming it. I see my weakness it's to appear cold or detached to some people. It's because sometimes I prioritize reasons over feelings. Although, I feel I show deep affection, my family says that I can be a little cold. It's how I'm and I don't feel I have to change, but I think I can demonstrate to other people how I'm and make them feel warm. I should work more on my empathic side to show my appreciation and enhance others' qualities more often
