everything about public schools is good except for the folks who are mad the whole time that they don't go to plutocrat school there seems to be an outsize number of those in the computer touching departments

yeah i know a lot of young people going through the intern/new hire interviewing circuit and i have not heard of a company checking your leetcode score lol. you'd be lucky if they even looked at something like a github. they're just interested in whether or not you know how to solve silly little programming problems, so everybody spends time doing a million leetcode problems instead of learning about designing complete software

i keep the link on my resume just in case, but the only time it's ever come up in an interview was when i applied to a very small, local software company for an intern position. bigger tech just seems like a numbers game to me tbh, nobody i know has felt seen for their particular talents or interests in an interview

i'm not sure if this is the right thread to ask this, but any chance a yospos oldie could take a look at my resume? i'm gearing up for tech intern recruiting season and it would be nice for somebody with interviewing experience to give some advice. i trust the people here to know what they're talking about

Achmed Jones posted:id move education to the very bottom or above activities, but otherwise that's a good resume. and that's a very minor thing obv thank you so much for the feedback! i've considered this, but i'm just not sure exactly what recruiters / interviewers focusing on interns prioritize when looking at a resume. it's definitely something i will keep in mind as i keep iterating (:

yeah the big reason i am starting this early with optimizing resume, etc is because i am desperately trying to gtfo of defense and into a role that gives me more versatility in guiding my career unfortunately i sort of washed out with my first year intern offers, though i've been told that it's common for tech to pass over first years so i'm hoping for better luck this time around

i didn't know that waas was a thing, so thanks for putting it on my radar. i'll definitely apply through there as well. that amazon pay is interesting, since the amazon interns i know from school are making around $50/hr this year in addition to living stipends

it's affirming to hear good feedback, and i appreciate all the advice.GenJoe posted:apple hires sophomores as interns (or at least did a while ago), your resume is definitely good but do know that some FAANGs literally only recruit from their target schools (stanford, umich, etc) unless you know someone who can get a recruiter's ear w/r/t this, i will say that i am generally averse to working at the kinds of companies that do such selective recruiting anyway. i will definitely be pulling all stops to get my info in front of as many eyes as possible, though. upperclassmen have shown me the magic of applying to as many companies as possible and then chain backing-out on accepted offers as you receive better ones

actually i did not. don't know how i managed to remove other things but missed the biggest font on the document. i don't think it's really a big deal but i will update it regardless the job fairs at umd have actually been kind of sad recently, we haven't had recruiters from a lot of big tech / faang / desirable companies. the cs fair is going back to in-person this fall though so hopefully that will provide better opportunities

i got sent a written interview for an intern position that i would be excited to place into (firmware development for a well-established but not necessarily prestigious tech company). i'm going to open it when i get home from work, but before then does anybody have any insight on how to stand out with this form of evaluation? i'm used to live behavioral interviews, and i'm not sure how the content that recruiters or hiring managers look for changes with a written evaluation

yeah they have a leetcode-style online assessment as part of the standard app, so i think this is probably the "human factor" second-stage rejection filter. i'd like to believe i can pass that but i use something awful dot com so it could go any way tbh!

this is good advice. i did try my best to show my excitement, and even filled out the "open comments" field like some kind of schmuck. i just need to remember not to get too invested in any one thing since i've already put out 30+ apps and the number is constantly growing

lord fifth posted:got a technical interview queued up for the summer position i really want didn't do as well as i would like, but i think that's okay for my first live coding interview. the interviewer wanted to stay to let me ask questions even though he was late to a meeting, which was a cool. don't think i'll move on / get an offer though, and that's just fine!

had a final round for an internship position today and had to do a graph traversal problem that involved multiplying edge values. i was praised for evidently being the only one out of ~200 intern applicants he's asked that question to do depth-first search on a graph iteratively instead of recursively .... i'm not the only one who was expressly taught that doing recursion on a graph is awful practice right ????

to clear up the context we're talking university-level technical interviews where people are used to using python or java or whatever from leets codes. none of these kiddos use lisp

the intern interview circuit is 100% asynchronous evaluations and live programming puzzle exercises and i dont know if i can blame them for it. i read companies like roblox get 50,000 applicants for just a few hundred available positions, you have to do something to stem the tide of bscs failstudents i dont personally mind it for fake short term jobs like internships even if prepping for it is annoying. but i know it's gonna start pissing me off real quick post graduation
