✋ Here are 5 things I did to land an internship in my first year of Community College. This is coming from someone who *was* an introvert until high school graduation. Standing out is especially hard for 1st years because you don't know really know anything. You just started -- duh. 🤷♂️ I didn't know anything, but I knew I wanted to make the best of my experience. So here's a quote that I cooked up as I was writing this: "The ideal that I should've been doing something compelled me to do anything and everything." For me, these things included: ⚡ Surrounding myself with ambitious classmates. We attended events and worked on group projects together. ⚡ Joining an ACM chapter and starting a CS club with friends. This taught me basic business/project management skills. ⚡ Becoming a Computer Science lab aide. I connected with 100+ students and simultaneously mastered coding fundamentals. ⚡ Attending lots of resume building workshops. My first resume was worse than 0(n^3) runtime and needed a major glow up. ⚡ APPLYING TO INTERNSHIPS. Don't feel ready? Perfect -- Do it anyway. Ultimately, these strategies landed me my first SWE internship at Microsoft x Cyborg Mobile.

What prepared you for your first job as a software engineer? ✏️ As a software engineer, my education in b.sc physics provided the foundational knowledge and skills needed for my first job. Additionally, I gained practical experience through internships, personal projects, and coding competitions, which helped me develop problem-solving abilities and familiarize myself with industry practices and technologies. Networking and mentorship also played a crucial role in preparing me for the challenges of the workplace.

Who has a Computer Science degree? The tech industry is booming, but is the education system struggling to keep pace? Traditional computer science degrees are not aligning with the rapid advancements. We're producing graduates, but not at the speed the industry desperately needs. The gap between theoretical knowledge and real-world application is widening. Is it crucial for academic institutions to evolve? Or should it be on companies to run internships, mentorships, and continuous learning opportunities? We are djr 🔵 ⚪ #internships #education #SoftwareEngineers #computerscience #mentorships #wearedjr

I'm elated to announce that I've completed my graduation in Computer Engineering Life has been exciting and it has been a wonderful learning journey throughout these 4 years. Managing multiple events, internships, and hackathons and still managing to score good in University examinations, I'm proud of what we have accomplished working hard these 4 years. Friends, acquaintances, colleagues, and awesome teachers made this college journey have a special place in my heart. Looking forward to carry not only the technical skills, but all these connections as I move ahead! #computerengineering #softwaredevelopment #graduation #machinelearning #webdevelopment #datastructuresandalgorithms #datascience

Your 20s are the best way to try, fail, achieve and experiment. The #US #market is in #shambles and well, we still managed to get internships. Well, here's something that I've wanted to do for a really long time.

Paws up for these amazing Panthers! Dive into the exceptional achievement from Break Through Tech Miami, where the traditional internship gets a tech twist. Meet "Sprinternships" – the micro-internships propelling students from academia to industry without the hurdle of technical interviews. Barbarella Castillo, a pivot from pre-med to tech, and Neica Sainvilus, a first-gen student, both clinched full-time roles at American Express post-Sprinternship. Vanessa R.'s tech journey is being fast-tracked with a 10-week internship offer. These Panthers are not just coding; they're innovating, thanks to a program dedicated to enhancing diversity and nurturing potential in the tech landscape. Kudos to Break Through Tech Miami for leading the charge in creating inclusive pathways for underrepresented students in computing. #FIU #KFSCIS #FIUCEC #CS #STEM #CompSci #CyberSecurity #IT #InformationTechnology #StudentLife #IoT #Database #AI #MachineLearning #StudentLeadership #FIUCommunity #PantherPride #BreakThroughTech #InnovationInInternships #TechCareerLaunchpad #DiversityInComputing

Hey there! Are you in the field of computer science? Would you like to connect with undergraduate and graduate students to share your experience in the field, talk about your employer, recruit students for internships and full-time opportunities, etc? Let's chat! Hoping to host info sessions, table hours, talks, etc. for our students this semester. Department of Computer Science, University of Dayton

⚠️ Computer science students If you've already secured a summer 2024 internship, great! If you're still on the hunt, don't give up! Nevertheless, whether you'll be looking for more internship opportunities or new grads roles, here's one of my most important pieces of advice ⬇️ START BUILDING OR CONTINUING TO DEVELOP YOUR TECHNICAL SKILL SET For students looking for SWE internships specifically, this involves getting accustomed to LC-style questions that frequently show up in OAs and interviews. At first, I thought that my class projects were enough to land internships, but I was wrong. In fact, LC-style questions are designed in a way that even knowing the underlying concepts isn't enough to tackle them. You must spend time answering these types of questions! Over time, you'll recognize patterns in thi questions, which is the key! Thus, if you've already taken a data structures and algorithm course, if you haven't already, my best advice is to start practicing LC-style questions ASAP! Many summer 2025 internships will lieky open up this July and August, and that is the time you will likely be getting your first OAs of the recruitment process. Thus, don't procrastinate and start that LC and DSA journey now! ~Kevin

Hi Linkedin Network! My son, Alexander, is finishing up his Sophomore year at UW-Stout majoring in computer science and a minor in mathematics. If you know of anyone looking for summer internships, please have them connect with him. #intern #computerscience #classof2026 #data #datascience
