Ace Every Interview Question with Confidence Inside Your Job Description
- In my career as a Software Engineer I have gone through various selection processes, and many times I couldn't properly communicate my skills. It wasn't due to a lack of technical competence, but because I wasn't prepared to answer questions clearly and concisely.

To build URECRUITED, I used a combination of technologies:
