What's up everyone!
Internships are valuable opportunities that give you experience working in your desired field as a full time employee for a few months typically during the Summer. I learned a lot about the software world through my internship opportunities along with what I like and don't like career wise.
I hope this video helps you navigate the internship world that best suits your career aspirations and look forward to hearing the amazing things you're doing in the engineering and tech world!
As always, thanks for watching this video and God bless!

My GPA is under 2.5 and I was able to obtain 2 internships because of how involved I am in programming, going to tech events, hackathons, tutoring, etc. Some companies do still care about GPA but you’re right a lot don’t and those are the companies that are able to hire passionate developers. Keep producing content, I love it !

[@yiselyero9014]

Yay this gives me hope cause my gpa is a wreck, but honestly, ever since i found programming through job experience, i feel in love.

Great information! Glad to hear more about Software Engineers internships😀👍

[@taw_andrew]

Hey @Gyasi Linje, I recently got a haircut inspired by you after 6 months of growing my hair lol. I'm currently studying Software Engineering and your videos are so insightful and helpful... You're a great role model

[@DrJohana21]

Awesome king 👑 so inspiring, thank you 🙏

[@onan3806]

This video was so useful. Thank you!

[@F22Raptor723]

Damn thanks miller lite for sponsoring the vid!

[@oscarmike1131]

Thank you for the tips. They are helpful indeed

[@AlexandraSophia]

Totally agree with these tips ✨

[@neerajrawat7845]

well I know I am going to do this when I apply during the winter break.

[@GyasiLinje]

Thank you!

[@AbdulCube]

Great video!!

[@jayys7745]

Very helpful !!

[@neerajrawat7845]

Thank you for such a amazing video with your experience. I am set for next semester and I am taking data structures. I plan to use winter break to study the material beforehand. Currently studying hard for finals, to keep my A's. Did you ever feel during your time in college that you were scared to talk to the professor or do you think over time it goes away cause now that I have been using office hours I have felt so much more comfortable with my professor. But keep up the good work.

[@GyasiLinje]

I'm glad you enjoyed the video and I wouldn't say I was scared, but I will say as I went to more and more office hours and grew relationships with my professors I ended up looking forward to going to office hours.

Hey, what is the name of the retail conferences you mentioned? I have been searching online, but I can only find paid ones and they cost $$$$$$. Great content!

[@tasheemhargrove9650]

I haven't even considered applying for internships out of state. What would you have done, in terms of living situation, if you had gotten an offer from one of those companies in the Bay Area? As a college student, I can't afford to rent a place out there so I never even considered that.

[@edwinnavas6933]

I like the video! How would you recommend to search for internships? I currently just look through my schools programs but there aren’t a lot. What other ways would you recommend?

[@nevillemathew6521]

You should check out job searching sites but honestly school programs are way better because you have a higher chance of getting called or even accepted. Since companies know about your school and they have no doubt that the students are good.

[@vlone1595]

A little late but dope video 👏🐐

[@p.h.d3142]

Great video

[@zeyad7947]

im a double major in computer science in mechanical engineering. My computer science major is also part of the engineering faculty, at my school u could do CS in engineering or in science. But anyway ur information was also useful for mechanical engineering internships so thanks.

[@ANIKETKUMAR-us4xn]

which camera are using youhh to make these vlogs..

[@spread2081]

Applying and putting yourself out there and showing up is half the battle. And tips on what skills to pick up for certain areas? Like if i wanted to get more into front end what would you suggest

[@Geomaverick124]

I would suggest HTML, CSS, Javascript, and React. You can also do Wordpress to get a first job quickly

[@Geomaverick124]

Learn about APIs and Rest APIs and learn how to deal with authentication

[@Geomaverick124]

Learn about Node, php, python, and/or asp.net (just pick one based on your area) and build a site using a frontend like React, uses a database like mysql or mongodb, has authentication, and uses an API.

[@GyasiLinje]

I would def learn some JavaScript, HTML, and CSS

[@Geomaverick124]

Good stuff

I will be 33 in March, do you think I'm too old to get an internship. I have tried to get in the field without a degree, but I haven't gotten anything, so I'm switching my major.

[@hawadrammeh8870]

Never too old for an internship!

[@karnez05]

USA indeed has a better job market - _ - in Canada if you don’t apply more than a hundred job, I doubt you can even get an interview : (

[@ycbfrost8698]

Do you have any tips for people going to boot camps?

[@GyasiLinje]

True the process and build a personal portfolio of at least your own personal website and other side projects. Some of the smartest developers I’ve worked eithh hi did a boot camp.

[@yangchun7458]

I was graduated from a boot camp and only thing I would advise you is that if you are not located in USA don’t go to boot camp, instead go to big name university. I’m in Canada and job market is flood with boot camp graduate so it is harder to get a job as boot camp graduate right now. And that’s why I go back to university and have a CS major now : (

[@TOBIKADEJO]

Very helpful! What programming language do software engineers work with?

[@zeyad7947]

it depends on what kind of software engineering your working with. But in general I'd say, know python for problem solving and java for object oriented. If you know how to use these two languages well, then you should be golden and all set. After that learning other languages will be cake. But also i cant stress this enough, but LEARN how memory works in these languages. And like math practice makes perfect. so just work and dont give up cuz it can get realllllllly stressful.

is college degree must?

[@yangchun7458]

Depends on where u live. Inside USA not necessary, outside yeah
