June 06, 2023 held the third webinar in the series "Secrets of Career Success" from V.V. Popovskyy ICE Department. The participants of the meeting - students of the V.V. Popovskyy ICE Department had the opportunity to talk with Julia Proskurina, a 2011 graduate of the department.

Julia holds the position of Vice President of Solutions Development at FORM. She began her report by recalling the most significant moments of her studies at the department and also showed her photos after receiving her bachelor's degree, reminding everyone that he had graduated from NURE relatively recently. The graduate noted that she had to combine her studies and work during her final year. Julia also told about her career path, which began as a technical support engineer at a local Internet provider. The guest prepared answers to the questions prepared beforehand by the students of the department.

During the communication special attention was paid to the issues of primary experience of students during their studies at the university in the process of performing scientific works, participation in competitions and Olympiads. This is what is often paid attention to when applying for the first job. Julia identified the most important skills that will help you gain confidence in your own abilities and help you curb fear before your first job interview. There was also a discussion about the important issue of responsiveness and the likely refusals to employment from potential employers. What conclusions should be drawn from this in order not to repeat mistakes at repeated interviews. In addition, a graduate of our department spoke about the need to use all available opportunities for academic mobility of students in the department, because through this you can get a unique learning experience, practical skills of communication with native speakers of a foreign language and improve your own soft skills.

We thank Julia for an interesting meeting, full of important information and useful advice! We are looking forward to another meeting with a graduates of our department from previous years, but already in September.
