Candidate Story – Nariq

May 7, 2019

Nariq, former PrepareRI Intern

“I had never worked before and the idea of interviewing for a job at a big company made me really nervous. I tried to remember the things I had learned in our training – how to communicate and act professionally. Luckily, the VP from Gilbane who interviewed me put me at ease, and I had such a great experience working for him. Since I had always been interested in computer science, he explained to me the many different ways computers are used in the construction industry, things I had never thought about and found exciting. I am still in contact with my boss from Gilbane and because of this experience, I may pursue a career as a project manager at a construction firm or a cybersecurity analyst, so that I can protect companies like Gilbane. PrepareRI brought me out of my comfort zone, and I now have the confidence to pursue different opportunities.”
