How I Got a Software Engineering Internship at Amazon (after taking just one CS class)

[@ohemmabri3551]

I have a Microsoft interview next week and I am very nervous. I literally just started taking a python class. Wish me luck! Update: So I passed the first round of interviews , and will be attending a virtual explore where I will do my second rounds . Thanks everyone for the well wishes ! And if anyone has any tips for the interviews and what I should expect :) . Thanks ! Another update: I didn’t get the internship, but the interview was so chill don’t be to tough on yourself. And if anyone knows of any other internships, please feel free to comment :).

Wow, thank you for all your support on this video! I've been getting a lot of questions about preparing for tech jobs, so here are some related videos: *The Resume I Used to Apply to Amazon* : kzbin.info/www/bejne/foumfH1jfLqCfLM *How to Learn to Code in 2020* : kzbin.info/www/bejne/qZW7eJ-oq91mrac *My CS Degree in 10 Minutes* : kzbin.info/www/bejne/rqeoiWptacynpJo *CS + College Q&A* : kzbin.info/www/bejne/embamWaGj9aKq7s And here are my two favorite resources I used to prepare: *Cracking the Coding Interview Book* : www.amazon.com/Cracking-Coding-Interview-Programming-Questions/dp/0984782850 *Leetcode* : leetcode.com/explore/

[@muktapurnima3576]

Ma'am please tell me you read the Indian version of that book or the original one

[@RakeshGupta-ft6cc]

By making videos related to coding, you can only cover few students interested in that area. Try exploring technical evolutions happening around the world. Like you can talk about phones, their os, how one should select which phones to use etc. And also, you can make videos about tech events like if telsa releases a car etc. Since yours is a tech based KZbin channel try these to get more subscribers.

Most real and practical interview experience i ever seen. Every other one is like i have done this. But the thing is its all about timing and luck along with the constant practice.

[@sanpreetkaur3071]

There's always something about the last interview that just works out. In May, my employer informed us we're shutting down due to covid in August so I only had roughly 3 months to find a new job before I'd be unemployed. I applied like crazy and eventually my schedule piled up to having two-three interviews a day!! I was super confident with my tech skills but with two-three interviews a day, the question I was always stumped on was "why this company." Each day I'd see the basic email of "we're moving on with another applicant at this time" and my hopes were going down. My last interview was the first company and interview I had signed up for actually. Since they're schedule was so busy, my first interview offer ended up being my last interview. I was so done at this point, it was the beginning of August and I was losing my job in a few days. Still decided to give it a shot, so I sat in front of my laptop on a Friday afternoon and joined the Zoom meeting. At the end of it, there was something about that interview that just felt different. Monday morning I woke up with my phone ringing to a job offer from them :) Moral of the story, please please don't give up!

[@harshibar]

What an inspiring story!! My experience was pretty similar -- it's just about waiting for that moment when everything aligns and feels 'right.'

[@Borjaa24]

You were bound to find a job, its all about consistency. This is motivating, good job

Hi, there just discovered your video and thanks for this amazing and inspiring video! I wanna say that I got same feelings as hearing from you that you wanted to cancel your Amazon interview as you don’t wanna waste you and your interviewers’ time. This really tells stories for us new job seekers! 😭😭😭 I just graduated from Uni and after submitting dozens of applications I got my first phone interview last week, which I think I screwed it up coz I was also extremely nervous and trying to showcase as much as possible with my influent English. It has been a bloody quite week for me that I have not hear anything back from my applications and I felt so bad for myself. This week I am super slow and I only solve 1 LeetCode question each day, as I am literally kinda lost and starting to question myself. 😣😣😣 Your video really motivated me to keep working and practicing. Yes that’s true because you will never know when your next interview coming! So the only way to land a tech job is to GET WELL PREPARED! Stop thinking too much

I don't know why I felt depressed I was scrolling the videos on YT . You tube suggested me this video I just randomly cliked and impressed with her English speaking skill.I did Bcom , spent lots of money of my parents but still I am a educated unemployed girl .I scored good marks in every level means I'm a distinction student but no use , I realized scoring more marks doesn't give u a job what u have dreamed. When I was in college my lecture use to support me only for scoring marks they didn't thought how to build skills for carrier . I just focuesd only on studies. Here someone think how distinction student can't get job but in the reality I'm local language means kannada medium student I can understand English and write but when comes to speak I will loose my confidence level my mind goes blank if HR asks any questions in English , as a reader u can easily find most of grammatic mistakes in my writing due to lack of English ..I hope readers will forgive my mistakes ..one day I will also speak English like her ..
