USV Company Fair 2024 - the first step towards a career in IT

ASSIST Software was one of the companies that participated in the recent Company Fair held on April 19th. This yearly event, hosted by the FIRESC Student Association at Stefan cel Mare University of Suceava (USV), offers a platform for students to explore various career opportunities, particularly in the IT industry

As a leading software development company in Romania, we understand the significance of assisting young adults throughout their journey from university students to successful professionals. The USV Company Fair was a perfect chance for us to interact with them, provide valuable insights into the industry, and offer guidance on navigating their career paths in this rapidly evolving field. 

The place where theory meets practice

During the event, we engaged in conversations with numerous tech enthusiasts willing to pursue careers in software development. We delved into the necessary skills in the field, emphasized the significance of acquiring hands-on experience through internships and personal projects, and explored the various career opportunities available in the IT industry. 

Moreover, we highlighted the importance of a solid foundation of theoretical knowledge in computer science or related tech fields. For this, Stefan cel Mare University of Suceava offers comprehensive programs and partnerships with companies like ASSIST Software, designed to prepare students with the required knowledge and skills for employment.

Practical experience gained through internships, learning programs, and participation in coding competitions can significantly improve the student's employment chances. These opportunities allow students to apply their theoretical learning in real-world scenarios, develop relevant skills, and build a professional network. 

The things you need to learn

At the Company Fair, we showcased the diverse range of career opportunities available within our company in the broader software development landscape. We discussed our company culture, the projects we work on, and the opportunities for growth and learning within ASSIST Academy.

Even though our time at USV was limited to just one day, we ensured that access to opportunities remained open and free. The ASSIST Academy platform provides information on student competitions, internships, and additional learning resources. Thus, we encourage students to explore these resources to advance their professional progress in software development. 

In conclusion, the Company Fair provided a valuable platform for us to connect with students and offer guidance. As a company committed to promoting talent and innovation, we are excited to continue supporting the next generation of software developers.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is ASSIST Software's development process?  

The Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) we employ defines the following stages for a software project. Our SDLC phases include planning, requirement gathering, product design, development, testing, deployment, and maintenance.

2. What software development methodology does ASSIST Software use?  

ASSIST Software primarily leverages Agile principles for flexibility and adaptability. This means we break down projects into smaller, manageable sprints, allowing continuous feedback and iteration throughout the development cycle. We also incorporate elements from other methodologies to increase efficiency as needed. For example, we use Scrum for project roles and collaboration, and Kanban boards to see workflow and manage tasks. As per the Waterfall approach, we emphasize precise planning and documentation during the initial stages.

3. I'm considering a custom application. Should I focus on a desktop, mobile or web app?  

We can offer software consultancy services to determine the type of software you need based on your specific requirements. Please explore what type of app development would suit your custom build product.   

  • A web application runs on a web browser and is accessible from any device with an internet connection. (e.g., online store, social media platform)   
  • Mobile app developers design applications mainly for smartphones and tablets, such as games and productivity tools. However, they can be extended to other devices, such as smartwatches.    
  • Desktop applications are installed directly on a computer (e.g., photo editing software, word processors).   
  • Enterprise software manages complex business functions within an organization (e.g., Customer Relationship Management (CRM), Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP)).

4. My software product is complex. Are you familiar with the Scaled Agile methodology?

We have been in the software engineering industry for 30 years. During this time, we have worked on bespoke software that needed creative thinking, innovation, and customized solutions. 

Scaled Agile refers to frameworks and practices that help large organizations adopt Agile methodologies. Traditional Agile is designed for small, self-organizing teams. Scaled Agile addresses the challenges of implementing Agile across multiple teams working on complex projects.  

SAFe provides a structured approach for aligning teams, coordinating work, and delivering value at scale. It focuses on collaboration, communication, and continuous delivery for optimal custom software development services. 

5. How do I choose the best collaboration model with ASSIST Software?  

We offer flexible models. Think about your project and see which models would be right for you.   

  • Dedicated Team: Ideal for complex, long-term projects requiring high continuity and collaboration.   
  • Team Augmentation: Perfect for short-term projects or existing teams needing additional expertise.   
  • Project-Based Model: Best for well-defined projects with clear deliverables and a fixed budget.   

Contact us to discuss the advantages and disadvantages of each model.
