I left my first job. I became an Air Traffic Controller for my first job in my career. On 20th December 2022, with a heavy heart, I decided to move on to pursue my passion of being a Software Engineer. My 3 key takeaways from taking a high-pressure and high-stress role: 1. Teamwork makes the dream work. Every single ATC working in a shift is needed for all aircrafts to move safely and efficiently. It is crucial for everyone to have each other’s back when shift starts, till the shift ends. 2. Confidence is key. With proper training and experience, ATCs become more and more confident each day to execute the daily task of getting everyone to their desired destination safely. Proper training includes knowing all the procedures that is in accordance to ICAO standards. Only with confidence in knowing the procedures can one be confident in pushing tin. 3. Communication. In providing air traffic services, proper coordination between controllers is part and parcel of the job. As a junior controller, It can be daunting to articulate your plans to the more senior ones. With time, I became more comfortable to better communicate with my seniors when coordinating. All in all, I loved my time there but my watch has ended. All the best to my fellow controllers. Thank you for your service keeping the skies safe. #atc #airtrafficcontrol #airtrafficservice #softwareengineer #training #communication #teamwork
