Before the courses at the academy, I worked as a Customer Support Team Lead in a product company. At that time, I had a master's degree in philology, specialising in oriental languages. Since I had no professional development, I understood that this was different from what I wanted to do in the future. But everything changed thanks to studying at Beetroot Academy. I read a lot of specialised literature and searched for information about the Project Manager profession. But I understood that I would not be able to structurally and qualitatively master the basics of this profession on my own. I was choosing among several schools, but on the website of the Beetroot Academy, I found information about the course, which immediately caught my attention. Before studying, I expected we would be taught a lot of theoretical material. But the excellent teacher Oleksiy Kravchenko told us a lot about how everything works in practice and always motivated and helped us. I am very grateful to him for that. I have been working as a project manager at University for about 1.5 years, so studying helped me a lot. I had been looking for a job for about six months; sometimes, I stopped the search for a while, and sometimes I turned down several companies because the conditions of cooperation did not suit me. The most challenging thing for me in this process was the need for more professional experience. I was repeatedly told at interviews that the employer liked me and I had the necessary knowledge, but it would be better if I had at least six months of experience. It helped me; I always honestly said I don't know everything or have practice, but I'm a fast learner and ready to invest time in my development.

I have been looking for myself for a very long time. I worked in a hotel, at the reception desk in a sports club, as a manicurist, a hair removal specialist, and a florist, and for the longest time, I worked in the confectionery business. I baked confectionery to order for cafes and restaurants. But I was always jealous of my husband, who could go to another country without stopping his work. You see, taking flour and sugar or a food processor with you on a trip is not very convenient. When the quarantine began, and restaurants closed, I was in despair. There is no work; there is no development. I was bored as never before until I remembered my dream, which I had been putting off forever because I was afraid that I would not be able to do it. But I slept and dreamt about working anywhere, earning more, and being more free and confident. I wanted something more to depend on me. I wanted to be needed. And I thought that no one could stop me from trying it. I wanted to "taste" my dream. And I started looking for courses. Everything was somehow bland, not "sweet", and not interesting. But that was before I remembered that Beetroot Academy existed. I fell in love at first sight! I saw an exciting program; the course description was more than detailed and beautifully designed. I did not hesitate for a second. In the beginning, I was apprehensive that I would fail and lag behind. But the lessons were enjoyable and interesting. If something needed to be clarified, the teacher always explained it as many times as required. For this, she has great respect and gratitude. And in 2 months, I received my first offer, and I'm still working at my dream job. I want to note how dedicated our teacher was to his work! I could talk for hours about how wonderful she was. She answered our questions at night, during the day, and in the morning; she helped us so much and gave us valuable and interesting information — our sweet pea. Two months after graduation, I was actively looking for a job. And I found it, and I work here to this day. It is a ChekRite product company based in Australia. It is a very cool project. We are talking about the web resource, which is synchronized with mobile applications on Android and iOS. Our application helps to get rid of paper documentation for all kinds of factories, farms, and farmers who conduct hundreds of paper audits every day. Our product allows you to save time and trees.

I am a chemical technologist by education. Before starting the courses, I worked as a service engineer for medical equipment. I wanted to change fields and start a career in IT, and Beetroot Academy had the best reviews, which determined my final decision. Honestly, I expected less, and as a result, I got an incredible experience. And thanks to the courses, I quickly received an offer for a new position. I started looking for a job while studying at the course. It took three months, during which I went through many interviews. I currently work as a JS developer at Integlity. The main problem for me was the need for more experience. It made me a little nervous, but after several interviews, I got comfortable.
