Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.

The program was a treasure trove of knowledge and insights, featuring sessions on personal branding, CV refinement, interview techniques, and coding assessments. Each session was led by experienced professionals who generously shared their expertise and personal journeys, providing a comprehensive understanding of what it takes to succeed in this field.

Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?

The hands-on coding workshop significantly improved my coding skills for technical interviews and provided a clear understanding of how 'HackerRank' is used for coding assessments. Additionally, every participant has been equipped with a mentor who will support us for the upcoming months, guiding us to achieve the goals we set in the program.
