Many programmers and other IT professionals have a certain mentality and perception of information, so it is often difficult for their partners to buy exactly the New Year’s gift they need. However, there are several simple practices that will help girls and IT professionals better convey information about their partner’s desires. Elena Ganzina, HR director of the Russian IT company Kodix, told socialbites.ca about this.
“The tips don’t always work and they don’t work for everyone. Especially if your partner is a passionate IT programmer. Such men may not hear the storm outside the window while working, and moreover, they will not notice the barely audible hint of their loved one. But this is not a reason to give up on your dream,” Ganzina said.
According to him, first the programmer’s partner needs to create a Google spreadsheet and collect information about the desired items there. The table should contain a column with links to products in online stores, “so that your loved ones can please you without leaving work.”
In addition, you can create a “dream channel or chat” in Telegram and post there your thoughts about the gifts you want, photos and, of course, links to marketplaces. Subscribers must include a boyfriend or husband who is an IT expert.
“If your partner is also into graphic design, collect a selection of your favorite colors on the social network Pinterest, create a board of images of things you like, and sign up with your IT professional for updates,” added Ganzina.
An alternative or addition to spreadsheets or social networks, according to the expert, could be a mobile application for creating wish lists.
“There are now apps for every possible purpose. Of course, there are also those where you can collect your desires with pictures, descriptions and links. Work on it, create an account, show it to your partner; “Maybe he too will take care of the interface and not only make you happy, but also create his own application,” he said.
Ganzina also recommends making a beautiful presentation of the requested gifts. With charts, graphs and numbers. At the same time, you should not forget about a clear discussion of your desires and funny illustrations. According to the expert, IT professionals often receive technical tasks in the form of presentations, so this format will be extremely familiar to them.
