Як стажування змінило моє життя
Олексій Бистров, студент III курсу спеціальності «Менеджмент»:
“Early in the year I started looking for a job. It was a real test. I had to not only fend off scam sales companies, but look for position which does not require commercial experience. But after war started I, obviously, lost an opportunity to easily look for different IT positions in Ukraine.
One day my groupmate proposed me an interesting internship. She said, that it is a project which aims to help Ukrainian businesses and the job connected with IT stuff. I immediately agreed and understood that it is my chance to gain commercial experience and help Ukraine in some way, except DDoS-ing Russian government services.
As it turned out, Henry Shterenberg was a founder of the company. It was surprising, frankly speaking, as a year ago he was my lecturer on Principles of Entrepreneurship, and now I develop a project, which he had been telling about on that lecture.
Firstly, it was a routine job, which was about adding different sections on the site. But because of my proactiveness I was invited to the management team and later managed a group of people working on the site, helping them in some troubles and fixing different bugs. Then I created a one-page site for hiring people on an internship and Telegram bot, which should have helped our HR manager not to waste time on chatting with each candidate.
Later I started working as a graphic designer, which I, honestly, did not expect. But as it turned out, I have pretty well understanding of modern design, as I successfully created some logos for companies, modern presentations for Mr. Shterenberg, covers for reels and posts in Instagram, and the most important – new design of one of our projects – EOT marketplace. All of that, obviously, went to my portfolio.
As a result, I, literally, worked in each department of our company and understood how difficult to manage all the company. That`s why executive management contains at least 3 top-managers, which responsible for their own field and then report to the directors.”
