The story of our US-Ukraine connection started when Kevin met Dave. Days away from quitting his last "real" job as a seafood plant manager, Kevin reconnected with a long-lost friend from high school. Little did he know, this long-lost friend was dating his soon-to-be business partner. After meeting Dave through their mutual connection, it didn't take long for the two to start bouncing business ideas off each other. The flow of creativity soon grew into a business partnership that has withstood the test of time.

Into the Heart of the Ukrainian-Russian Conflict

Kevin and Dave formed a team of 20 Ukrainian developers and QA, with Igor as Lead Developer. When Russia invaded, Kevin, Dave and Robert worked together to get Igor and his family to safety in Poland. After a long and risky mission, Igor and his family were able to cross the border and return home to Lviv.

Internships are for college students or people who have just completed their degree. If you are a student or recent grad, you may be wondering how to land an internship. If you've never had one, you may even wonder if you need one. After all, didn’t you work in that call center while also doing exams? Or perhaps you’ve bartended your first year in college?

Why Are Internships Important & How Can You Get One?

Internships offer valuable work experience and the opportunity to build relevant skills for your desired industry. They can also provide great insight into the corporate world and help you gain a strong network. Unpaid internships may be worth it for those targeting dream companies or needing hands-on experience. Get that resume ready and start applying!

Even if you’ve worked hard to earn a degree from an impressive school, landing your dream job might still come down to who you know – otherwise known as networking. Lots of qualified candidates might apply for a job, but the person who gets it might very well be so-and-so’s sibling, friend, or kid. Sometimes the only way to get your foot in the door is to know someone.

Why is Networking Important & How to Network Effectively

Networking is an essential tool to further your career and find new job opportunities. It builds communication and social skills, and allows you to form relationships with industry veterans who can be mentors and provide guidance. Learn how to network effectively by being proactive, patient, and resourceful.
