The people who I knew who were most successful at internships and landing a job right out of college, (not a huge target school like Berkeley or MIT) didn’t waste much time with projects and stuff. Their MO was 1. get any internship doing software after freshman year, even if it’s at a noname place which hardly pays 2. every summer leverage that into an internship at a place with more name recognition and money From my perspective the best way to stand out at a career fair was always to have prior internships at good places. The people who did those crappy internships after freshman year got the best internships later, then after they graduated usually either went to Google/Facebook/Airbnb or whatever the top startups were. I don’t know what this guy is on about talking so much about confidence or whatever, I get the impression from the article the author is on some weird little power trip lording over these college students. It’s my impression that the way big tech actually recruits at most colleges is to just collect a shitton of resumes, set a target number of interviews, and pick the top N resumes out of that (perhaps with certain demographic goals as well). None of this weird confidence, impress me with an elevator pitch bullshit
