Helped Me Improve My CV and My Self-Confidence in My Abilities
You’ve really helped me gain an insight as what to skills may be needed for working at a tech company,… or any company in general. You’ve also helped me improve my CV! You answered my questions about going to university which was really helpful in regards to networking and gaining contacts. The best advice I’ve seen on your page has been showing that everyone goes through stages of not feeling good enough and it’s okay to take a break or acknowledge that others are going through the same thing. That helped my self-confidence in my abilities, especially in coding, so thank you! 🙂 Read more “Helped Me Improve My CV and My Self-Confidence in My Abilities”
