Designing ads and building landing pages for Pesto

Pesto is revolutionizing the way Indians look at education and career development.

It has uplifted dozens of I.T workers from their mundane jobs and put them into the driver’s seat of careers that seem meaningful to them. Careers that let them hone their skills and grow alongside the company, as well compensate them the way that they deserve.

Through an intensive 12-week training program, participants of Pesto learn, unlearn, and relearn core business skills, soft skills, effective communication, and of course, advanced software engineering.

The Pesto programme is not for everyone. In fact, a typical Pesto participant usually has 2+ years of working experience prior to joining the programme. But Pesto places no restrictions on the people who can apply to the programme. It does not care about your degree, your credentials, or your CV.

As long as you have a body of work to prove your worth, and an innate drive to learn, Pesto will welcome you with open arms.

Then launch you to the career of your wildest dreams.

Pesto’s vision and philosophies resonate with me deeply, and this week, I’ve been building projects the way I would have if I had been working with them.

My guide to getting work done

I am a somewhat lazy person.

This is incredibly helpful for me. It allows me to usually get my work done with time to spare.

To think of all those nights spent rote learning and working super hard to hand in my assignment the next morning. Fair to say, I’ve learned a few things about time management since then.

By implementing techniques and principles learned in some really awesome books, and listening to advice from workhorses masquerading as people, I now manage to save a good amount of hours each week after finishing my week’s work.

We typically like to follow the trajectory of School<Bachelor’s degree< Master’s degree< unemployment.

In my high school, however, I experienced the challenges of managing an organization.
