INTERNSHIPS: Getting. That. Offer! Part 2.
Manage episode 265353375 series 2716772
Afua, in an effort to demystify the myth around getting competitive internships, discusses LinkedIn etiquette, email etiquette around cold-calling recruiters. Crafting a resume that stands out, landing the interview, and preparing to ace the interview (both technical and non-technical), and, finally, evaluating the offer. This episode is definitely for both people who have not written a single line of code in their lives, and people who are already in CS or Engineering.
