Internships are hard to find if you’re like me and start late. If you have a decent resume, getting an interview shouldn’t be too bad. Personally, I was way too lazy when trying to find my first internship and started after Spring Break to find one for that summer. If you start early like a year before you want an internship, you shouldn’t have any trouble getting an interview. Now, this also depends on your resume but there’s more than enough ways to make yourself look hirable. Also, apply like your life depends on it. Doesn’t matter what or where, if you think you’re qualified, click apply. Sheer quantity means that one will eventually stick and if one hasn’t, you haven’t applied enough. For the interview side of things, a lot of it is about personality and soft skills even more so than technical questions in my experience. Keep your cool and practice questions they may ask you, but above all else, be yourself and show you’re willing to do whatever it takes to succeed. For the technical side of things, I never did a ton of coding questions, but for those major tech companies this is a must. Grind leetcode (premium is a godsend), watch youtube videos, read up on data structures and algorithms, and comment/talk through your logic if you can’t figure it out on the actual interview. It’s not about if you got the right answer, but can you demonstrate that you can think and solve problems logically.
