Interview with a previous recruiter at Google and Amazon and founder of BobaTalks (Part 2!)

How can computer science students make their applications more appealing?

Avoid using basic classroom projects. Instead, showcase complex, real-world projects that demonstrate technical depth and relevance.

How much of an advantage do early birds have when it comes to internship applications?

Applying early provides a significant advantage as internships are filled on a rolling basis. Seats are limited, so earlier applications have better chances.

What are the key qualities or skills that differentiate successful internship applicants?

Leadership, teamwork, and project ownership are critical. Highlight extracurricular activities and projects that demonstrate these qualities.

Is there hope for students without previous work experience?

Yes! Participate in early student programs like Google Step and Microsoft Explore. Involvement in extracurriculars, volunteer work, and personal projects also helps.

What is the interview process like at Amazon and Google for internship positions?

Typically involves an Online Assessment and a mix of technical and behavioral interviews. Prepare thoroughly for both types.

Are there specific projects or experiences that impress recruiters?

Social-impact projects are highly valued, especially when well-executed and demonstrating positive community impact.

What’s the most unconventional way a candidate grabbed a recruiter's attention?

One student matched with a recruiter on Tinder.

Unconventional advice for aspiring interns?

Attend conferences for networking and learning opportunities. Start meaningful projects with peers to gain experience and build a strong resume.
