Five Tips On How To Learn On The Job

Many of us feel this method of learning is scary. Being handed a problem and left to our own devices can be scary, especially on day one. Still, sometimes being forced to learn under fire can be just the motivation we need. This is often the way of early-stage startups. No one knows how to do the thing, so no one can teach you. You try, you test, you fail (many times). You try again, and refine.

In tinkering with your new job, responsibilities, applications, or codes, we find ourselves learning the structure which something is built from. The value is that you can teach yourself through trial-and-error. Learning through experimentation, you may build a more comprehensive understanding, and you will be positioned to break down concepts to the fundamentals when it comes to teaching others.
