By: Rafał Bielenia is a student of Computer Science If the title sounds familiar, this is for you! I wrote this blog post as a tribute to the great blog post which helped me very much a few months ago. After dozens of interviews and hours on the phone, I decided to share my knowledge and create this, not so short, but very enriching post. So, have you ever imagined a situation where you receive job offers from Google, Facebook and Microsoft? And... you have to reject most of them because you just cannot be in several places at once? For sure you did. I wanted to know how this feels, so I did some research. Do you want to know more? Read on. The core business of Codility is strictly about recruiting: we help billion-dollar companies as well as startups to hire coders. But we are programmers ourselves and we have been on the other side of the table too. I was in internship interviews with all the companies mentioned above. In preparation for the interviews I talked to my older university colleagues who were internship veterans, who has been to all possible internship already and even rejected some offers just because they have grown bored of spending holidays this way. I realized that I have a great opportunity to sum everything up and to create a wrap-up for internship wannagets. Stages of recruitment It is important to understand that every company has a slightly different recruitment process. Sometimes you have to wait one month for the interview, sometimes a day. Sometimes you just have to send your CV, sometimes it is better to use a backdoor. Nevertheless most of them follow a pattern that looks something like that: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. Secondly, you have to be good with computers, but you don't have to know everything. This is just an internship, not a senior engineer job. A very common mistake is a lack of self-confidence. Many people say: “An internship in Microsoft? I don't have a chance. Maybe next year.” What? Of course you don't have a chance, because you don't try! Stick this motto over your bed: “A quitter never wins and a winner never quits.” Try, try, try until you win. On the other hand if ∀ε > 0 your_skill End
