On 20 May, a meeting with mentor Yana Pecherska, HR manager at JEVERA/XME.digital, was held at the JEVERA IT office as part of the ‘Professional Mentoring: First Steps to a Career’ educational programme.

The topic of the mentoring session: ‘How to conquer the beast called ‘interview’.

The participants learned how to prepare for the interview, how to write a cover letter, how the interview is conducted, and what to do afterwards.

The highlight of the mentoring session was a tour of the company’s office, during which the students saw how workplaces and recreation areas are organised and learned about the specifics of the company’s work.

The moderator of the mentoring session was Vladyslav Nosovets, coordinator of the Chernihiv IT Cluster.

The coordinator of the ‘Professional Mentoring’ scheme at the Chernihiv Polytechnic National University is Alla Kholodnytska, Head of the Tutoring and Mentoring Centre.

The event is part of the piloting of the ‘Professional Mentoring’ scheme under the Erasmus+ project KA2 PROMENT ‘Promoting Vocational Education and Active Participation of students through the Development of a Comprehensive Mentoring and Tutoring System in Institutions’.
