Tech Skill.
Many beginners make the same mistakes.
Let’s talk about 3 of them and how you can avoid doing the same.
Mistake 1: Chasing Trends, Not Purpose
Some people say, “AI is hot now, let me learn AI!”
Next month, they switch to web development.
Then to UI/UX.
The Problem?
They jump around and never finish anything.
What To Do Instead:
Ask: What do I enjoy?
Pick one skill and commit to learning it for 1–3 months.
Trends come and go—skills grow with time.
Mistake 2: Ignoring Soft Skills
Many focus only on hard skills like coding, design, or analytics.
But tech teams need people who:
Communicate clearly
Solve problems
Work well in teams
Stay curious
Soft skills help you grow faster.
What To Do Instead:
Practice speaking, writing, and presenting your ideas
Join group projects or online communities
Learn to ask for help and give feedback
Mistake 3: Not Researching Tech Roles
Some people learn skills without knowing what jobs they lead to.
For example:
Learning HTML is good, but do you want to be a web developer, a designer, or something else?
What To Do Instead:
Read job descriptions online
Watch YouTube videos about tech careers
Talk to people already in tech
Take personality quizzes to guide you
Quick Recap:
Avoid these 3 mistakes:
- Don’t follow every trend focus on your interests
- Don’t forget soft skills they matter a lot
- Don’t skip research, know where the skill will take you
Remember:
You don’t need to figure everything out today.
Just take small steps and stay consistent.
