Here’s what Merit users have said about Bernard
Talking to Bernard was very refreshing in terms of practical questions and feedback. It was easily one of the most productive sessions I have had in terms of how someone's thought process would be when answering tricky questions. I loved the session and I think I will schedule more as time permits.
Bernard is an amazing mentor. He started simple with where I am at now, and where I would want to be. He utilized my background information to discuss ways to assist with my transition into a new tech role. Bernard was patient and extremely helpful. He discussed how to analyze where I am at in the process now, and how to find ways to bridge the pieces I am missing. He continued to utilize my stories/background and how to lean into my strengths and weaknesses. He was able to give me confidence in the skills I do have, but also how to overcome and utilize my passions in an interview/discussion setting. He was open with discussing his path, his mindset, and how he approaches both the application process and his work responsibilities. I cannot express my appreciation enough for his time and mentorship.
Bernard was really fun to talk to. He was so candid about his journey to product management and really give me the great outlook on just growing in your career. Bernard does a good job setting up the meeting and just talking about yourself and where you are currently and working your way from there. I highly suggest booking an appointment with him.
