Great programming skills + excellent communication = a high paying job.

Here are 5 communication mistakes that could be hurting your career:

1. You react instead of respond

When you react, you're seeing things only from your POV & how you feel in that instant.

Responding involves pausing, reflecting on the situation & consider their POV. It shows that you respect and care about what they have to say & how they feel.

2. You are uncomfortable with silence

Constantly filling in silence has a lot of downfalls:

• You aren't reflecting on the conversation
• You don't give yourself time to construct an appropriate response
• You aren't actively listening
