Maksym Vorohob - Duty Engineer of the IT Support Group (trainee)

Hello everybody! My name is Maxim and I am a 5th year student. I am studying telecommunications. I was told all my life that I would not work in my specialty anyway, but I have been involved in information technology since school and therefore I decided for myself that it is better to choose one path, study and do what is really interesting. In the 3rd year of university, I decided to finally go to work in my specialty. I worked for an Internet provider for a year, but the information and scope of work they gave me there was not enough for me. And so I decided to move further in my direction, accidentally came across a vacancy for an IT support intern and decided to try myself in this large media holding.

When I first came for an interview at the head office, I was struck by the bright walls of the 1+1 room. These steps that count how many calories you burn when you climb the mountain, corridors that are called streets. In general, I really liked it.

After the interview, the next day, I started the internship. A friendly team, experienced mentors, education of every employee of the company - gave me the strength to come here again and again, even when I had a day off.

The first time, it's about a month, I got to know the "kitchen" where everything is prepared, where preparations are made for the release of material on the air, where broadcasts are conducted. After I familiarized myself with the company, I started going on some assignments with my mentor. Yes, of course, I already had a certain amount of knowledge in this field, but I did not yet know how to use theoretical knowledge in this way. I am a paddavan of my mentor even now (if you have watched Star Wars, you will understand)).

What am I doing here? I support the operation of programs used by employees, the stable operation of all equipment in the office, and the operation of services used by the company's employees.

I've been coming here for 3 months now with pleasure, I'm doing various tasks and already without the help of my mentors. I can say that I have joined this team, I really like it here. Theory is theory, but without practice you will not be able to solve complex tasks. I hope to stay here in the future. During these 3 months, I learned a lot of information, which, by the way, I consolidated in practice, and for this I am grateful to the department in which I work and, in general, to the company that created internship programs in various areas!

I can proudly say "1+1 media changes the world for the better"!
