In this video I will be going over how I landed my first software engineering / development internship, and realistic tips and tricks you could apply to your first internship search. I will be going over how many applications I sent out, how many interviews I bombed, and going over the resume that landed me the job. The entry level software engineering market is currently very competitive, so hopefully my insights can provide value to you as you navigate your first job search.
Also take everything I say with a grain of salt cuz this is really anecdotal lol.
