Hello fishes. I am new to Fishbowl so hopefully I’m doing this right. I am finishing my degree in Computer Engineering and just had an initial interview with Accenture for their Technology Development Program. I am overall very excited, despite some of the opinions I’ve seen. My question is, what certifications or courses do you recommend me pursuing in anticipation of receiving an offer or just in general to continue building my resume? (& where to obtain). TIA!
17, I was a dishwasher in a small town restaurant, worked 6pm until 2am and got off the bus to go right into work. I turned 18, they realized I was the only girl under 25 in town, and they put me in as a waitress instead. I’m graduated now, and work in tech, my advice for dealing with pressure is just to mentally fortify yourself that you CAN do hard things.
First job was 15 putting flyers up for a local company and helping with boxing. Second job was 16 teaching skiing. Then was an admin assistant at my school’s business school through college. Then first job out of college was as a consultant.
I liked teaching skiing, not because it was a fun job, it wasn’t, but because I met the girl who took my virginity and then my first long term girlfriend through that job. Apple has been my best career move by far
My first job out of college when I completed my first undergrad degree was as a Social Media Manager for a local home services company. It was pretty intense because all of the other projects and random duties no one wanted to do were dropped on me, so I was learning a lot on the fly but and I was super stressed all of the time. So honestly, I had my share of nervous breakdowns in the bathroom when no one was around but I guess I was doing a good job because I kept getting raises.
My first job was as an engineer. I had no clue what I was doing, but one of my friends told me to "fake it till you make it." That is what I did until I was competent enough. To deal with the pressure at work, try thinking about the worst-case scenario, and you will realize that it isn't as bad as you think.
I had my first job when I was still in college since I had to help my mom out to make ends meet. Being a working student, you have a lot on your plate. Dealing with pressure is a long process, you have to always pick yourself up and keep going. I've always told myself that I am strong and I am capable and I guess it helped me.
My first job was as a freelance writer and editor. There were days where I could barely get a grip on my emotions and almost gave up, but I thought to myself that I wasn't doing it for me but for my mom who was trying her best to keep me in school. I loved the feeling of being able to give her money instead of the other way around. I had to suck it up and pretend I was happy with what I was doing and that I still had motivation left in me to power through it. In retrospect, that was probably a terrible idea to "fake it til I make it" but hey, I made it.
Customer service. It was a grind but truly learned some valuable skills. Depends on whether the pressure is from the role itself, or unnecessary drama from a toxic work environment.
My first job was a cashier at a convenience store. This was back when I was 18. Taught me a lot especially the importance of how to handle money and customer service.
My very first job was a waitressing job. But I assume you mean first job out of college. My first role out of college was a Paralegal role and it was HORRIBLE. The pressure was more than I could handle.
