I first gained some basic knowledge of programming during my undergraduate years. At that time, I was only exposed to a small amount of basic programming, just enough to know a little more than nothing. Later, during the employment winter, I decided to switch careers and learn to code. On the recommendation of a senior, I joined an IT job-seeking organization for Java training.

I noticed many differences between this organization and others. For example, the instructors here provided personalized learning paths based on each student's background. They started from the basics and gradually built up the lessons. They didn’t strictly follow textbooks or rush through the material just to keep up with the schedule. They cared about the students' understanding and progress.

In the beginning, I felt overwhelmed and frustrated because the projects at Drill Insight were real, hands-on tasks. However, these projects helped me learn actual development processes and technologies. The project topics were diverse, and they really helped me master key skills. Whenever I felt stuck, the instructor patiently provided 1-on-1 counseling. If I didn’t understand something or had trouble solving a problem, they would explain it repeatedly, helping me absorb the information step by step. They answered technical questions and reviewed my code, reinforcing my skills over time.

Drill Insight’s JAVA training program went beyond technical knowledge. It also focused on resume building and interview skills. For example, when I started, my resume was weak. My projects were small, toy projects that weren’t very useful. My resume lacked substance. My mentor helped me optimize my resume and guided me through real projects. This allowed me to add more meaningful details, showcasing my technology stack and work results.

During actual interviews, I found that many of the questions I faced related directly to the projects I had worked on. Additionally, Drill Insight offered Mock Interviews, where we practiced common behavioral and technical questions. This greatly improved my ability to communicate clearly.

The projects at Drill Insight were extremely valuable. They weren’t just basic coding exercises. Each project was based on real business scenarios. For instance, in the “Health Management App” project, I had to design a user-friendly interface, call the database API to fetch data, and display it visually. I wasn’t just designing features, but also optimizing performance and debugging data. This project taught me many practical development skills.

Through these real-world projects, I gained solid project experience, which made my resume much more appealing. Eventually, my hard work paid off, and I successfully received an offer from T-Mobile, thanks to my strong project experience and technical skills!
