Greetings to all programmers of the future and present! The JavaRush team is in touch and we have finally decided to hold another competition. We think our most active students have been waiting for it for a long time. So... Tell me, do you have a professional camera? What about a selfie stick? What about a microphone for recording sound? Even if the answer is “no,” it doesn’t matter. To participate in our competition “Show how JavaRush helped you!” An interesting story about your studies in JavaRush, your willingness to tell it to others, and a mobile phone with a camera is enough. As you probably already guessed, this time we are not talking about an article competition, but about a personal video review competition.
If you:
Are you studying JavaRush level 20 (or higher)
Already finished JavaRush
Learned with JavaRush and already found a job
We invite you to make a video on the topic “how JavaRush helped me” and send it to the competition. It can be short (from 1 minute) or long if you have something to tell. The filming style is free, the style of speech is the same (you can’t use foul language or insult anyone).
Conditions of the competition:
Make a short video about how you learned JavaRush/got a job as a programmer.
Post it on YouTube.
Create a post in the Random group from August 16 to September 5, and place a link to the video there. Please include the word [competition] in the title. It is not necessary to write accompanying text, nor to post illustrations, but this may slightly increase your chances of winning in the People's Choice Award category.
What can you talk about in the video? The competition video is a video success story. An approximate video script may contain answers to the following questions:
Introduce the audience to yourself (at your discretion: tell us where and what you studied, what you are interested in, how old you are).
When did you first start learning programming?
How did you find JavaRush and when did you start learning on our resource?
Describe your approximate schedule for learning programming. How often did you study, how long did it take. How many problems did you solve per day, how long did it take you to reach your current level?
How was it - difficult, easy? What was the most interesting and what was difficult?
Were there times when you wanted to give up everything? How did you overcome them?
What other resources (books, websites, courses...) did you use in your studies (besides JavaRush)
Have you completed a JavaRush internship?
If you are already working, tell us about interviews and how you prepared for them
If you are already working, tell us a little about your work.
If you are not working yet, how do you plan to look for a job? Have you already had interviews or internships? Tell us how it was.
Your advice for JavaRush students who are just starting their studies.
... Do you have your own script ideas? Great, we welcome this! =)
