Avinash Nayak's Mentorship Journey: From Lack of Direction in Job Search to Securing a Data Analyst Role Avinash Nayak, who initially worked as a Senior Engineer at a construction firm, realized his passion for data science and machine learning while working on backend systems. After deciding to make a career switch into data science, he began preparing through various online resources and even completed a machine learning course. However, Avinash found himself directionless when it came to applying for jobs. He was unsure of how to present his resume, build his LinkedIn profile, or approach the job market. His applications were not yielding interview calls, and this left him feeling demotivated. Avinash discovered Preplaced and connected with Chetan for mentorship. In their first trial session, Chetan’s approach resonated with Avinash, as he provided a clear roadmap on how to approach job applications, structure his LinkedIn profile, and prepare for interviews. Throughout the one-month mentorship, Chetan helped Avinash stay motivated and organized his preparation process, offering tips on applying for jobs and preparing for interviews through mock sessions. With Chetan’s guidance, Avinash landed his first offer and successfully secured a role as a Data Analyst.
