Their info session was followed by a presentation on "How to Build a Successful Career in IT Companies" led by Koev and Lazarov. They pointed out that the labor market is getting more competitive and that there are expectations for a disruption in the software industry. They advised the students to focus on the development of their meta skills – not strictly focused on quantity of different programming languages that they could learn but on the ability to adapt and acquire new information. Lazarov suggested looking for the newly-emerging trends in the software development sector and trying to find a way for transferring their own skills into the working environment.He also addressed the importance of soft skills and the preference of many employers for somebody with inferior technical skills to a person with hard skills, if the latter shows the inability to work efficiently in a team. Koev added that the liberal arts education at AUBG has a great impact on employees and their future development. According to him, knowledge and skills acquired from courses are different from those of the student's major, benefiting his or her work in different stages of the professional development.
With its team of 19 people, nine of whom being AUBG students or graduates, Transmetrics' recruitment representatives are hoping to expand their crew with more people from the AUBG community. The team guests shared that the students with whom they spoke ultimately left with a positive impression of the company. According to Koroteev, they were technically prepared and showed an understanding of the company’s ideas.
Transmetrics’ representatives offered the chance to students for joining the company as Software Developers or Data Scientists. Currently the company has full-time and internship positions. They are looking for both enrolled and graduating students. One of their interns is Tomislav Marinov, a fourth-year student, who started as a Software Developer Intern in the Business Analyst Department in 2016, and is now holding the position of a part-time Junior Software Developer. He shared that he never felt pressured in the team because of the working environment in the company and the nature of the tasks that he executed.
