The Long Awaited Competency Review

Yep, I'd had my competency review yesterday at 4 p.m. Nothing special happened though, I still have B(asic) for most of skills listed on the form. I didn't mean I can't take it, I CAN take it but the way they conveyed it, the contemptuous tone in their voices, that mattered a lot for me.

Well, all in all, I managed to claim working at few skills, and I had to argued with them. Gee, that was HARD! Most of skills I managed to claim at working level were contained in local competency category, and one friend of mine told me that the category only counts a little toward software engineer assessment, means that I didn't obtain much points from the category. My friend also said that categories which have the most influence to final evaluation are SWEBOK and PMBOK (don't ask me what they stand for!), and this is bad since I got the perfect 'B' at most of skills in those groups. T_T

My friend adviced me not to hope too much and never let them put me down too. I guess she is correct, I shall pay no attention on whatever comments they give on my skills, because they are just like a drop of water in ocean.
