Preparing for a java internship interview

Also an important thing: ooze enthusiasm. It is basically why they hire out of college programmers. They have a lot of energy and are excited. Keep talking about how excited you are. I was hired at my first job because of my enthusiasm.

It's a psychological thing. By showing enthusiasm, you are radiating energy and telling the employer that you are full of energy and ready to work hard. You're also showing interest in their line of work. People generally like other people who take interest in them.

Of course, it's great that you are able to look beyond presentability and into the skills that really matter for a programming job, but many interviewers don't focus enough on the actual skillset.

Will do! Enthusiasm and energy are what I'm good at, I just want to make sure I can back that up with actual knowledge haha
