HR Panel
summary
Panelists compare degrees, bootcamps and personal projects as useful, but hiring prioritizes demonstrated skills and growth potential. They describe company programs such as Google Cloud’s 14-week free workshop with Women in STEM plus public certifications, Falabella’s Tech Academy, internships and Digital Bus for junior talent, and Grafana’s quick screening using a take‑home task that evaluates method rather than perfection. Larger-company interviews are divided into technical, cognitive and leadership rounds, and candidates should show GitHub projects and eagerness to learn.
