5 star review

The session was an eye opener for me in terms of the expectations for EM roles and how to prepare for them. Mentor was kind enough to offer me encouraging words because of my current situation in my job search process. Shared a lot of insights on what an Hiring Manager looks for in a resume and also the kind of responses for the behavioural interview.
