new technology on his own, and a comfortable familiarity with the modern web

Page 8: Recruit A MakerSquare Graduate

“I just signed on to take a full time

position starting in January as a Junior

Front End Developer with a little bit of

QA. Springbox has an incredible team

and I’m getting great exposure to many

different code environments and

continually learning.”

JESSICA FUSELIERJunior Front End Developer

Springbox

“I am now working full time on goodscout,

the web application that I presented on

Career Day. Goodscout improves the

buying experience on eBay and gives

users access to deals that were

previously only available to the lucky few.

Had I not done the bootcamp, goodscout

would definitely not be happening.”

“Just by the virtues of the MakerSquare program itself, it’s pretty clear that MKS

graduates are dedicated, skilled problem-solvers before they go in, and come out with a

strong foundation for continued learning and growth. Ultimately White Lion decided to

bring a MKS graduate on because we knew the right person would pursue knowledge

and grow quickly into a strong developer.”

“I would ABSOLUTELY hire another MakerSquare graduate. The graduates I’ve met so

far have proven to be smart, knowledgeable, and driven. They possess the right

qualities for a successful career in the web development industry.”

"I see my life in two stages: before and

after MakerSquare. It's more than a

career change. I have more confidence,

I'm a better learner, and I'm a happier

person."

"I came out of MKS with friends, mentors,

and three job offers within a week after

graduation. If you work hard before,

during, and after the course, it works.

Period."

“Kaoru excelled in his interviews, showcasing solid technical

talent. He's extremely well-spoken and personable, and has

tremendous personal drive and motivation. Put this all

together, and we knew we had a great potential hire on our

hands… Kaoru added value to our team immediately. He was

shipping code to production on day 1, quickly adding both

features and bug fixes.”

“I was getting nowhere with my Liberal Arts

degree, and was not excited about the options I

did have. It was impossible to ignore but [before

attending MakerSquare] I had zero of the

knowledge or experience needed to get my foot

in the door.”

JASON WATSONJunior Software Engineer

“Hiring MakerSquare graduates has changed our mindset on the hiring process. I was

blown away by their ability to learn quickly, contribute immediately and take on heavy

back-end work. They exceeded my expectations of a Jr. Developer and are actually

assisting in mentoring multiple employees.”

”MakerSquare graduates are comfortable diving into a new feature as well as tackling

bug fixes and other feature problems. They are very dedicated to continue learning and

often put in extra hours. They are also able to apply their existing work experience to

bring another level of professionalism and thought process to their work.”
