Louis: Hello everyone. Welcome to another episode of BiblioTech On Air, BiblioTech's official podcast. I'm Louis, and today I'm joined by a very special guest, the wonderful Nikita Tejwani.
Nikita Tejwani: Very nice to meet you.
Louis: Nice to see you.
Nikita Tejwani: Thank you so much for having me.
Louis: If you wouldn't mind just introducing yourself a bit, telling people what you do.
Nikita Tejwani: So I'm Nikita Tejwani, like you said, and I am born and bred here in San Antonio, Texas. Currently, I am a senior at Brandeis High School, so go Broncos. And some of my hobbies are baking, cooking, and I love, love, love traveling.
Louis: That's so wonderful. Oh my goodness. What do you like to bake? I have to ask.
Nikita Tejwani: I actually run a bakery as well.
Louis: Really? Oh my goodness.
Nikita Tejwani: So, I bake a lot of cakes and cupcakes is what I specialize in.
Louis: This isn't even what we have her here for, but I will talk to you about that later. That sounds wonderful. Oh my goodness. But the reason that we have you here today is actually to talk about — so you've started something known as Calyqen, as well as Caly Cares. Would you mind telling the audience what that is and how it's been progressing?
Nikita Tejwani: Yes. So Calyqen is an app that helps you from start to finish of getting a job or finding a role. And the inspiration behind it was my mom. My mom was initially in the job market, I think less than a year ago now, and I never kind of realized how difficult of a process that was.
Ready to try Calyqen for yourself?
Caly can help you find a real job, tailor your resume, and get ready for the interview — free.
