I won a green card and at first I tried to find a job as an controls engineer ( I was an controls engineer in Russia) but it was difficult, there are not so many vacancies in this field and licenses are required. So I decided to turn my career in other direction. As I already was familiar with some programming basics I decided to turn my career into IT field. \r
A friend of mine already graduated from Portnov Computer School at that time so I had an example of successful employment. The school gives unique set of knowledge and provide an internship which gave me real work experience in the USA. I was studying for 2 months as a full-time student and then got 3-month internship program. Solid combination of theoretical and practical knowledge was enough to find a job. Full time classes also helped me to improve my English.\r
Portnov Computer School gave me a unique chance of adaptation in the USA.\r
Special thanks to Sofia and Mikhail.
