How I Got a Big Tech Internship in Software Engineering (with no previous experience)

Video Description

So...I recently got a big tech internship in software engineering. I had no previous experience, so my “journey” to receiving my offer letter was definitely a combination of blessings, good planning, and hard work. I personally received a lot of guidance and help from wonderful people in my life, and now (as cliche as it may sound), I do want to give back by making this YouTube video. I hope you enjoyed this video and found it helpful. 💕 Ella TIMESTAMPS: 1:58 - my CS background 3:31 - learning about recruitment & interviews 5:14 - how I did technical prep 9:53 - how I gained experience 12:35 - crafting my resume 13:52 - applying to internships & getting referrals 🔗 LINKS MENTIONED IN VIDEO: Medium article: https://createdbyella.medium.com/how-i-got-a-big-tech-internship-in-software-engineering-with-no-previous-experience-80277b791e8b Resume resources: https://yangshun.github.io/tech-interview-handbook/self-introduction/ https://docs.google.com/document/u/1/d/e/2PACX-1vQpvbP8lzPvZrNvrX58UlacpQiLgh1fBQYfOS2pEJZvp-zOb9uKQJYKSsDQ6mJWoPf3H09OmdrLDcaK/pub ✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:* *:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧ ✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:* *:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧ ✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:* 　 　 📧 FOR BUSINESS INQUIRIES, CONTACT: [email protected] ➡️ MY VLOG CHANNEL: @Vlogs by Ella 💻 A CHROME EXTENSION THAT I MADE (helps you manage and navigate through your chrome tabs): https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/tab-closer-and-selector/anoodphkcgbgfdaiiljnngkboogckpnb ▶️ A CHROME EXTENSION THAT MY FRIEND MADE (allows you to fast forward YouTube videos (& ads in them) using on-screen hotkeys ): https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/youtube-on-screen-hotkeys/pjignmjgalcnihmjmkaliemdlagnhfnn?hl=en 📷 FOLLOW MY INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/createdbyella 💄 GLOSSIER 10% OFF: https://re.glossier.com/310ae988 👗 YESSTYLE 10% OFF: https://ys.style/c2lAZVoeb9 (or use code 'LLAEXX10') ✨ GET TO KNOW ME My name is Ella and I'm currently studying computer science at the University of Toronto.
