Success Story Of Xin Gu

Tell us the story of how you successfully landed the offer:

After I applied for the position BentleyLink, I went through a coding challenge and two rounds of interviews. Both technical and behavioral questions were asked. It is very important to show my passion for the job. For example, when talking about previous relevant working experience, you can do a comprehensive introduction and demonstrate the value of your work (how your work benefits your clients or your business) so that your interviewer can understand that you love the relevant job and will be good at it.

Advice to fellow students:

First, setting up a long-term and short-term career goal is critical during the job hunting process. With a clear career goal, you know what kinds of position you want to apply as well as what skills and knowledge you need to accumulate.

Second, seeking advice from the Graduate Career Services office is important. My advisor, Laura Aiken, gave me all kinds of guidance on my resume and interviews which helped me a lot.
