Jet-Lawrence is a software developer from the Philippines who got a job in Munich, Germany. He talked to community manager Maria Sanchez about how he built his international tech career and how VanHack helped him in the process.
“I wanted to be exposed to more opportunities and have international experiences”, Jet-Lawrence explains. “I think living abroad will definitely help me grow as a person and my career”.
Preparing with VanHack was crucial for getting a job abroad
Before attending each one of the interviews during the hiring process, Jet-Lawrence had “mock interviews” with VanHack advisors. “They sent me an invitation to take a practice interview and that really helped a lot. They helped me practice for the actual interview and they gave me some tips and pointers on how to improve and how to increase my chances”, he says. “I definitely was less nervous during the actual interview because of that. So I think that really helped me eventually get the job.”
