- How long have you been working for the company and how did everything start?
I’ve been working for the company since April 2016. It all started when I had told Ivan Markov that I’m looking for something new. After that he contacted me and shared they were looking for a person with a similar profile as mine. I applied for the position right away, had my interview appointed with Nikolay Stefanov (R&D Manager)… and here I am now.
- What are the biggest challenges in what you do?
The biggest challenges, I would say, are meeting deadlines and keeping the clients happy with the results.
- What are the most fundamental skills you should have for your current position?
Preparation because failing to prepare is preparing to fail.
- As a Project Manager, tell us what it is like to be one.
Project Managers are always required to have a clear concept in their head. What’s more, they should be ready for a lot of planning that needs to be done.
