"Looking to join the team here at Pinterest directly out of college, I feel very confident in my abilities to manage the entire scope of a new development project. I have leadership experience as my campus' president of the software engineering club. In that role, I developed skills that would help me utilize staff and resources in the best way possible. During my internship, I was exposed to the planning stages of new projects, and I have an excellent feel for estimating the budget and length of time needed to have a fully functional system."
