Interviewer

That's an inspiring learning journey so far!

Let me ask you this:
Have you taken on any freelance work or real-world projects beyond school assignments or sample tasks?

And also, have you ever joined any structured learning programs or received a scholarship to study programming? For instance, programs like ALX’s front-end development track or perhaps you've enrolled in any paid courses instead of relying only on free resources?

Interviewee

1. Yeah, I have worked on one freelance project I got through a referral by a friend.
2. No, all of my learning experience have been with free courses from youtube, freecodecamp, codeacademy etc.

Interviewer

Well.What was that freelance work and do you have a team to work with?

Interviewee

It was an e-learning platform where teachers teach students live. We worked with my friend as a duo - frontend and backend. I worked on the backend.

Interviewer

Wow, that is great! How much were you paid? Btw, are you in AASTU or ASTU?

Interviewee

I'm in ASTU.
I mentioned it in past tense but we aren't exactly finished with the project and since it is our first time, we didn't agree on any payment beforehand. We just wanted to have experience with freelance work and connection for future projects. But I am still hoping we get paid though
