The interview was pretty chill and they asked about my core skills. Having some background in the domain would definitely help. The seniors there were super supportive, they not only taught me about the work itself but also about the industry. I learned a lot about using social media like YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram for business growth. Data analysis was also a key takeaway; initially, I wasn't sure about its importance, but now I get that it's crucial for tracking progress and self-improvement. I also realized the professional world operates differently than I might have initially thought.
