    How do you have “no experience” but you’re a cs major at a very reputable school? You also had other internships. Very misleading

    Never understood jobs that have entry level positions but it says you have to have experience😂. That would make no sense. The job isn’t entry then.

      That’s an employer’s wish list, just like when they ask us about our desired salary, I aim higher than what I really want, so they pay me what I want 😉

      This video is not good. He's constantly iscouraging people from applying to big name companies. LOTS of companies have programs that target freshman and sophomores. He's unaware. Also, how come people shouldn't apply for big name companies? No one should tell no to themselves, its the recruiters job.

    You said things that I know I needed to hear, but didn't want to, a good man, thank you, commenting is all I can do, since I can't reach out to you personally, but if someday I can, I will make sure to bagger you with tons of questions, so much that you have to tell me to go away because you'll have to be somewhere or you'll run out of time😂. Looking forward for some genuine progress.

    • @AmanManazir
      @AmanManazir  2 года назад +8

      You’ll want to mainly ask about their journey and background-so if someone mentions they interned at a specific company, ask them about the interview process, how they got the 1st interview, what prior work experience have they done, etc.
      And if they mention anything surprising or counterintuitive, make sure you ask clarifying questions and dive into it.

Someone told me that looking for online work is kind of pointless and that I should be looking for an in person job that's local.

    I don’t know how it works in other parts of the world but usually companies want interns who are going to stay working for a full-time job later on. Why would they want to train somebody who is going to another company? Big companies can afford it but small ones, I guess can’t
