Tech Internship Resources
This is a list of resources that I have compiled through my own software engineering internship search. This is by no means a comprehensive list nor am I affiliated with any of the organizations or writers listed below.
Please feel free to contribute to this resource list. To do so, either:
- Create an Issue
- Put in a Merge Request (preferred)
- Send me an email at mitali97@cs.washington.edu
Note: While there may be an overlap with other tech internships like data science etc., this list is primarily focused on software engineering internships.
Resume Resources
- How to Write Your First Resume: Advice by the University of Washington Paul G. Allen School of Computing on best practices to attract industry recruiters
- Resume Tips: Presentation put together by the University of Washington's Career & Internship Center on best resume practices
- HH Websites & Resumes: Great community for both peer reviewing of resumes (getting feedback on your own resume) as well as seeing sample resumes of other individuals within the tech industry
Getting that Experience
- Karan Goel's Mega Project List: Great starting point for students looking to gain exposure to interview like questions as well as translate their classroom knowledge into real computer science problems
- Angel List: Start-ups are a great way to gain some footing in the tech industry as well as make a large impact within a smaller setting.
How to get an Interview Resources
- Intern Supply: Interview Preperation Resources as well as an up-to-date list of tech companies and their job postings - make sure to sign up for their newsletter too!
