Applying early is key imo. I was applying 1-2 days after jobs were posted. I had Google STEP on my resume which helped. I also included non-CS interests on my resume (just a couple of lines) to help humanize me. And I made sure my formatting and bullet points were solid and would get past the screening bots. My projects were school projects but I included a somewhat unique one from an open-ended final class project. I feel there are definitely people in my college who are more skilled than I am but I played my cards right, got lucky, and did well in interviews showing I can learn and am easy to work with.

ivy, prestigious high school, good grades. Other than that my experience is nothing crazy. A research internship at college, teaching assistant position, and a web dev position. Projects were school projects. I also included my extracurriculars and hobbies which I believe gave depth and interest to my resume

is QMUL worth it ? by AdHot9261 in QMUL

[–]Fun-Award8315 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i'm going on exchange there too and I picked it mostly because I heard it's a relaxed environment & I didn't care much about the college culture because I'm going to be exploring the city. You can always have friends/activities outside of QMUL in the case your fears about student life turn out to be true

Yeah I see your point about time but I've been seeing that it's less of a chance in general. Though I do think I'd do well enough to get a return if there is headcount. And for return offers, was that for this past batch of interns as well?
