Knowing ourselves is a fundamental aspect of life, both inside and out of our working environment. As software developers we must know ourselves enough to realize how we work best, so that we can better perform at the job we’re assigned. At Pernix Solutions we’re offered a variety of tools that help us with this personal task. Using these tools to our advantage will give us many benefits in the long run, so we should make the most of them taking into consideration that not all companies provide said tools to their employees, which also shows that Pernix is commited to the growth of the people they hire.
One of the most important things we must be conscious of is our personality type. This will help us understand how we can better deal with our coworkers and clients, which is crucial to doing the best work we can. After all, we are humans and we all have different personalities; we can’t fully figure out others but we must try to know ourselves and that, by itself, will help us alot. Another thing that we need to understand is our personal productivity style, which will benefit us when it comes to being more effient and achieving tasks faster and better. By comprehending this we can look for different tools and habits to help us improve in this aspect of our professional career.

Lastly, one more useful thing for us to know is what drives us, because this can point us in the right direction towards finding the job that best suits us and where we can develop our full potential. This includes aspects like job stability, challenge, independency, and our overall lifestyle.
