It sounds like you guys don't know what the intern market looks like. A significant percentage of students entering my University in first year have multiple significant side projects under their belt before the first day of class. We then all do 6 internships of 4 months at each company before graduation.
If a company in San Francisco wants an intern who knows how to build a POST endpoint, believe me, that is not an unrealistic ask.
- astura 9y agoSince I very frequently interview interns and was one myself (~15 years ago) I certainly know what the intern market looks like. Whereas it sounds like you're a college student, as you said "we do internships," not "we did internships." Interns are not expected nor required to have any experience. You're being entirely unreasonable if you're looking for experienced interns. If you're friends were so experienced already that they could land an entry level job by 18 then why did they go to college at all? BTW, in the context of a job posting, "experience," means "professional experience," not "I threw together some shitty code one weekend in high school."
