DevConf.cz 2016

You’ve worked hard, you have mastered every coding language on the planet, including COBOL. You know jenkins, travis, go, puppet, chef, CFengine, nagios, github, graphite, logstash, ansible, aws, gce, vagrant, cms, cvs, abc, 123, and even a little bit of TFS. Your resume is up to date, and you are ready for your next job.

Well, slow down a bit there… Industry trends in engineering are showing a growing desire in companies to hire people who have proven soft skills, are good at collaborating with others, and can regularly solve the most complex problem we face today: effectively talking to our fellow humans.

Please join Jen for a conversation about the journey of becoming more comfortable with collaboration, open communication and reaching through “the wall.”

Topics will include:
Collaboration survival skills
The dreaded “soft skills” and how to become comfortable with them
What to do in common situations all engineers face
How to convince others that your idea is the right idea
