As documented by Maria N Nuila
I am Maria N Nuila, a single mother, part-time worker, and technology lover. I have been working as a Retail Sales Representative, with demonstrated experience. My will to grow, aim for big, and learn new technological skills encouraged me to step forward from my comfort zone. I am glad of my choice, which earned me new projects and a path to a career change.
The Journey
I have experience in the telecommunication industry, where I had a successful retail sales representative career. My work experience brushed my Budgeting, Python, Microsoft Excel, Customer Service, and Microsoft Word skills. I aimed to expand my online portfolio and develop more technological skills, encouraging me to look for a good educational platform.
The Challenge
I held expertise in previous industries, which made me look for new challenges. The prerequisite for the same is familiarity with the new domain. The prior knowledge was not a reliable and accurate source to be applied in technicality. I chose Machine Learning or Artificial Intelligence as a path to tread. However, the endeavor required a certification, which further needed choosing among multiple educational platforms.
Simplilearn Solution
I chose the Machine Learning Program offered by Simplilearn. Overall the experience was rewarding and worthwhile. It was effectively delivered in flexible hours, which helped me follow my busy and unpredictable schedule as a single mother. Highly qualified instructors shared their real-life experiences, which was a motivating and encouraging experience. Moreover, I enjoyed a lot through live projects. However, I suggest room for improvement, such as providing captions for videos, more detailed comprehension videos, along with revision books.
