QUOTES FROM YUVIKA
“Whenever you look at a new graduate, they spend hundreds and thousands of dollars on their education, paying off all those student loans, and nobody thinks about those two pages that any employer is going to see when you're, you know, applying for a job.”
“Being open to learning or being open to feedback can go a long way.”
“Using any kind of tech is good. It's not bad, but then the extent to which you're using, there needs to be a strategy behind it.”
