Elizaveta Litvinenko, year 4 Bachelor student at the College of Information Technologies and Computer Sciences:
“I didn’t participate just to get a certificate, I came here for knowledge. I got my certificate in Storage. I think I have achieved my goal, I now know a thing or two about data storage. The certificate is a nice bonus, it looks good on my CV. My participation was free, so it was worth trying my hand.
I have been working for Huawei for 3 months so far. I am a Field Service Engineer, but the company doesn’t limit me to just one role. If I wanted, I could try myself in ticket processing, customer service, networking and much more. My responsibilities as a Field Service Engineer include visiting the customer’s site for setting up or repairing equipment, testing or monitoring data. I am also getting ready to get my HCIP certification. I’m really loving my job so far. Getting the job wasn’t easy, but the colleagues are very friendly and always ready to offer a helping hand. The atmosphere is just very friendly and nice”
