What does the future of work look like and how do you prepare for it
Advocacy Training On Accessing Economic Rights For Women, Youth And The Vulnerable.
August 26, 202030 local NGOs in Ho trained on how to access and advocate for the economic rights of their beneficiaries.
August 31, 2020Remote working models have become the new normal. The COVID-19 pandemic has compelled a lot of companies to explore the option of their employees working from home. What does this mean for the future of work? The fifth edition of the Ho developers’ meet up had two speakers who have been working remote jobs to lead the conversation on how to devs can find remote jobs, work productively and stay sane while working long hours behind a PC alone at home. The meetup was on Sunday , August 2020 at the Node Hub premises.
First, Komla, our Programs Manager Kickoff the event with a brief welcome note to the devs present.
We had a lot of new faces at the v5. Rosemond, our community champion made sure everyone felt at home and welcomed.
Then came the fun part of the meetup - the Techie Games. It was exciting cracking math puzzles for special node gifts :)
It was now time to get into the conversation of the day.
The first speaker Mr. Dzamesi is a Senior Product Owner, and Certified Scrum Product Owner (CSPO) of Jumo Limited, a Kenyan Fintech company. He is alum of KNUST (Electrical Engineering) and got an MBA graduate from Yale University.
Mr. Dzamesi touched on The Search process, Application process and Steps to Maintaining a remote dev Job. He used his the story of how we got his current job on movemeback.com and cold calling the CEO on Linkedlin as an example of how devs could take advantage of remote job opportunities available. He also explained to the devs how they could structure their CVs, focus on building portorfolio and prepare for remote interviews.
On maintaining a remote job, Mr. Dzamesi reiterated the need for devs to build trust and credibility by ensuring that timeline or deadlines for deliverables are met. He also shared the productivity hacks and tools he uses while working remotely like Slack, Asana, Google sheets etc., and stressed on the need to have a good internet connectivity to ensure effective and efficient communication.
Mr Dzamesi's presentation was [fire emoji] and engaging. He responded to the several questions the devs asked to seek clarity on their dev path.
Ernest Nii Ashitey Armah is the country manager for Enpact, works remotely with his colleagues across the word led the session on keeping sane.
He joined the discussion virtually via zoom call. He touched on how to negotiation work deliverables,understand the terms and conditions very well before the gig commence. He also shared tips on how devs who work remotely can take care of their mentality health. Nii answered several questions on dealing with time zone differences and handling communication challenges that surface when working remotely.
The v5. of the meetup was enlightening and entertaining. Least i forgot, our lady devs were well represented at the meetup.
Bright Kportiklah and Gifty Gbedemah, a trained midwife shared their coding journey, career switch and passion for technology.
As you know, no meetup can end without item-13.
We hope to see you at our next Dev's Meetup.
