I want to start off by saying I love what this company is trying to do and what it stands for, I’m making this review because I couldn’t find any information on the hiring process with MAXX. I applied for a mandatory career lab with MAXX back in late December. They contacted me several months later via email about a career lab in about two weeks. I went to the March career lab. Which was difficult because of my classes. Nevertheless, I really wanted to learn, and I felt hands on experience would be awesome while pursuing higher education. I then found out that the career lab was four days long. MAXX uses this to give potential candidates a taste of what they’ll be working on if selected. When I arrived, it wasn’t what I was expecting, I assumed there’d be maybe ten people. Nope, forty people showed up to the lab, seeing that many people was discouraging. Nevertheless, I did the labs, day one started with a presentation about the company. Then we began coding a website for the company. Which was more than I thought we’d work on day one. I’ve never programmed a day in my life, I applied because I heard they had cyber security positions. Day two we did cyber security which was fun! I don’t remember day three. Then day four we had the first interview and a group project that failed (nobody contacted each other). The first interview was easy and was called back for a second the following week. So far so good, but this is where I take issue. I missed a full week of school the week prior to be here. I went into the second interview two weeks later and was asked questions I didn’t know the answers too and I kept telling the guy I don’t know the answer, but I could figure it out (internet). I didn’t bring in anything because I was playing catch up with my classes. I was under the impression this place was about learning and not what you know. Waste of time.

I learned about Maxx Potential in a Developer's Meetup, from the Norfolk office manager. She had such drive for success, passion to learn, and eagerness to teach and help others. I found out from her, that the company she worked for, Maxx Potential was all about that. Maxx Potential is all about developing successful students of the I.T. field, by giving them hands on learning and experience in Web Development, Cyber Security and Quality Assurance Testing. Learn by doing. I went to their wonderfully informative 4 day lab in the Norfolk office and got to meet their very kind and helpful staff and apprentices. I got to participate in their fun activities and awesome challenges. I even had an opportunity to enjoy a 1st and 2nd interview for their paid Apprenticeship program, which I had brought several of my own projects to show. I am very excitedly waiting on the results of those interviews. Maxx Potential is completely up my alley in what I am wanting and how I am wanting to learn in my career goals. I absolutely love the type of atmosphere and goals they have set up. They are all about helping those that are eager to learn and succeed. If you enjoy the challenges of teaching yourself, improving yourself and are not afraid of the struggles, but instead relish in the opportunities of problem solving, Maxx Potential is there to help people like you and me succeed. I am very happy that someone kind told me about Maxx Potential.
