In 2009, I came to the USA as a Dominican girl without speaking a word of English; I was very afraid to talk to Americans.
In 2011, some people, including friends, made fun of my accent and broken English; others pretended not understanding me.
In 2012, I failed my first job interview; and got REJECTED countless times due to my inability to understand all the technical concepts of my career in English.
In 2013, I passed a my first job interview
in English.
In 2014, after passing a few interviews in English, I got hired by Harvard University.
In 2017, after passing around eight rounds of intensive and challenging interviews in English, I got hired by Amazon.
To anyone being REJECTED or struggling with their English right now, please don’t let your circumstances define your future.
