Experienced developer Misun (Sunny) Hwang was able to build confidence and refresh her knowledge during our Software Development micro-credentials.

Sunny worked in the Information Technology field for over 10 years as a software developer in Korea.

She came to New Zealand seven years ago and has worked as a webmaster at several companies.

This July she enrolled in 911±¬ÁÏ꿉۪ Software Development micro-credentials.

She says it was a great opportunity to learn about the latest technologies.

“But the best thing was that I could find my confidence while attending the course,†she says.

“Even though I have much work experience in the IT industry, my knowledge was old because IT is changing so fast.â€

She says her lecturers always encouraged her and gave her confidence.

For her project, she created a Tailored CV Generator web application.

“Whenever I make my CV, I have to focus my work experience on the applied role, because I have worked in various roles. So sometimes it takes a long time to write a CV and I lose the opportunity to apply for a job. That's why I designed this project.â€

 She completed her project successfully and says she will continue to develop the app and will soon publish it on a web hosting server. She’ll then be able to use it in her portfolio.

“The course was very helpful for me to upskill myself and extend my confidence,†she says.
