TALK: ZUITT ALUMNI BATCH 16 ALJHON
Batch Instructor Joyce invited Zuitt Alumnus, Sir Aljhon, her former co-bootcamper from Batch 16 .
Guest Speaker Aljhon, a well-deserving recipient of the Outstanding Mentor Award of Batch 16 Zuitt Coding Bootcamp, has a Bachelor’s Degree in Information Technology. Now, he works as a Web Developer.
“I invited him to speak to you this evening because I can personally attest to the kind of student he was during our bootcamp training. He was the kind of student who always looks for opportunities to help those who are struggling with their codes. Like him, most of you, are graduates of IT. I believe that you can all learn from his journey of retooling or reequipping himself to be able to practice Web Development.”
Batch Instructor Joyce
Aljhon shared his experience during his bootcamp days.
“Nung first day ko, medyo kabado ako kasi wala akong idea kung paano uli magcode, magdevelop, kasi QA ako. Pero since magaling naman yung mga teachers, mayroon kang makakasamang mga classmates, nasurvive ko yung araw araw. Araw araw, feeling ko gumagaling ako pero meron ding times na feeling ko kulang ako. Ang ginagawa ko, after ng class, pag-uwi, nagpapractice pa ako. So ayon yung ginagawa ko, yung mga pinapagawa sa akin, pinaparactice ko pa siya pag-uwi ko ng bahay. So kapag nakakalimutan ng ibang mga classmates ko kung paano ginagawa, ayun yung time na tinuturuan ko sila, shinashare ko sa kanila yung nalaman ko about doon, kung ano ba yung mga tricks tsaka tips para mas mapabilis. Ganon yung nangyare sa akin sa Zuitt. HIndi ako yung pinakamagaling sa amin that time at naniniwala ako doon, pero isa ako siguro sa mga masisipag mag-aral pagdating sa Web Developing.”
Aljhon, Batch 16, Zuitt Alumnus
His advice to the graduates regarding job hunting is to be confident with the skills that they have acquired in Zuitt.
After his Bootcamp training and a week before his graduation, he started applying for Web Development jobs. This was to prove to himself that he is confident enough to be out there and join the industry, to know that he can play along with all the applicants who also want to become a Web Developer or a Software Engineer.
To end his talk, he stated:
“Kung positive ka lang lagi, kahit mahirap, maniwala kayo sa akin na magagawa niyo rin yon. Lagi niyong tatandaaan na pagdating sa Web Development, grupo kayo so kailangan marunong din kayo humingi ng tulong.”
Aljhon, Batch 16, Zuitt Alumnus
He then invited the bootcampers to apply at his current employer.
