I was fortunate enough to have been offered Summer 2020 internships from Google, Facebook, and Microsoft, but in the end, I turned them all down.

我很幸运获得了Google，Facebook和Microsoft的2020年夏季实习机会，但最后，我拒绝了所有实习机会。

First, I’ll give you a bit of background about me at the time of these offers. I was just starting my sophomore year at Brown where I study Computer Science, Applied Math, and Economics. I had never coded before college and was very intimidated by CS when I first started out; I actually nearly dropped my first CS course a couple of weeks in. Luckily, I stuck with it and improved with practice, and the courses I took in my freshman year that helped me prepare for recruiting in my sophomore year were Object-Oriented Programming (Java) and Algorithms & Data Structures (Python & Java).

首先，在提供这些优惠时，我将为您提供一些关于我的背景信息。我刚在大二开始在布朗学习计算机科学，应用数学和经济学。我从未上过大学，所以刚开始时就被CS吓倒了。实际上，几周后我几乎就放弃了自己的第一门CS课程。幸运的是，我坚持了下来，并通过实践进行了改进。我在大一那年参加的课程帮助了我在大二那年的招聘，这是面向对象编程( Java)和算法与数据结构(Python和Java)。

I didn’t have an internship for the summer after my freshman year, partially because of my age — I started college at 16, but that’s a different story — and partially because I wanted to go home and see my family that summer.

大一毕业后的夏天，我没有实习，部分原因是我的年龄-我16岁就开始上大学，但这是另外一个故事-部分是因为我想在那个夏天回家看望家人。

让我一踏进门的简历 (The Resume That Got My Foot In The Door)

Without any internship experience, my resume was still able to get through screening from Google, Facebook, and Microsoft, as well as other competitive companies like Salesforce, Bloomberg, and Two Sigma to name a few. For those interested in tech careers, I can tell you what recruiters said made my resume stand out despite no industry experience.

没有任何实习经验，我的简历仍然能够通过Google ，Facebook和Microsoft以及Salesforce，Bloomberg和Two Sigma等其他竞争公司的筛选。对于那些对科技职业感兴趣的人，我可以告诉您，尽管没有行业经验，招聘人员说了些什么使我的简历脱颖而出。

If you are looking for a technical role, put your coding languages at the top. Why? There are thousands if not tens of thousands of resumes to screen in the first round of recruiting, and the people who do that first screen are usually in HR. They are trying to see whether you fit the job description they posted, which means, at a minimum you need to know the language(s) the position requires. Putting your languages at the top makes it super clear, quick, and easy for the screeners.
如果您正在寻找技术角色， 请将您的编码语言放在顶部 。 为什么？ 在第一轮招聘中，有成千上万的简历需要筛选，而进行第一次筛选的人通常是人事部门。他们试图查看您是否适合他们发布的职位描述，这意味着您至少需要知道职位所需的语言。将您的语言放在最前面，使筛选人员可以非常清晰，快速且轻松地进行操作。
If you don’t have a lot of relevant experience, get involved on campus and/or do side projects. Why? The fact is that companies want experience, which creates this catch-22 when you are trying to get your first position. To overcome this, you have to have experience in some other form. I put down my involvement with clubs on campus as well as personal projects and meaningful school projects. It doesn’t have to be anything to fancy.
如果您没有很多相关经验，请参与校园活动和/或进行附带项目。 为什么？ 事实是，公司需要经验，这会在您试图获得第一个职位时造成22号陷阱。为了克服这个问题，您必须具有其他形式的经验。我拒绝参与校园俱乐部，个人项目和有意义的学校项目。不必花哨的任何东西。
Really important: Quantify your impact. This is a big one. An Amazon executive told me that my resume was better than some of their peers because I clearly quantified my impact. For example, if you are on the executive board of a campus org, instead of saying something like “I grew club membership”, say “I increased membership signups by 20% from the previous term”. Numbers catch the eye and make your impact super clear.
真正重要：量化您的影响。这是一个很大的。一位亚马逊高管告诉我，我的简历比其他同行更好，因为我清楚地量化了影响 。例如，如果您在校园组织的执行董事会中，则无需说“我增加了俱乐部会员资格”之类的字眼，而应说“我将会员注册数量比上一个学期增加了20％”。数字吸引眼球，让您的影响力超清晰。

A good resume can only get you through the first round, which is still huge. The percentage of candidates making it through is slim, so you’ve already done great by getting that Hackerrank/phone screen. Then, it’s up to you to perform on your coding challenge(s) and in your interview(s).

好的简历只能带您顺利进入第一轮。通过考生的比例很小，因此通过获得Hackerrank /电话屏幕，您已经取得了不错的成绩。然后，由您来决定是否应对编码挑战和面试。

我如何准备面试 (How I Prepared For Interviews)

I’ve seen some articles stating that you need to do hundreds of Leetcode problems to prepare for technical interviews, which, in the end, will probably help you perform well. But, there are other less time-consuming strategies that will help you get to the next round or even get an offer.

我看过一些文章，指出您需要做数百个Leetcode问题才能准备进行技术面试，最终这可能会帮助您表现良好。但是，还有其他一些耗时较少的策略可以帮助您进入下一轮甚至获得报价。

Algorithms and Data Structures: I’d highly recommend taking an Algorithms and Data Structures course at your school before interviewing. If you study CS at a university, this is probably a requirement anyway, and it will really help with interviews. If you aren’t in university but are interested in technical positions, taking a course online or doing projects that help build your algorithms and data structures knowledge will be really helpful. Interviews are all about algorithms and data structures!
算法和数据结构：我强烈建议您在面试之前在您的学校参加算法和数据结构课程。如果您在大学学习CS，无论如何这可能是一项要求，并且确实会帮助面试。如果您不上大学，但对技术职位感兴趣，那么在线上课程或进行有助于构建算法和数据结构知识的项目将非常有帮助。面试都是关于算法和数据结构的 ！
Interview Videos: I recommend watching a few interview videos to familiarize yourself with the types of problems that will be posed, the common approaches to solving these problems, and how to think out loud and explain your rationale. Some people will tell you that you don’t need to solve the problem and that the interviewer only cares about how you think. In my experience, this isn’t true and you do need to actually solve the problem. However, solving the problem does not guarantee moving forward unless you clearly explain how you got to the answer. Why did you choose this certain data structure? How did you come up with the program? What’s the runtime and space usage? Watching interview videos from channels like CSDojo will show you how to answer these questions.
采访视频：我建议观看一些采访视频，以使自己熟悉将要出现的问题的类型，解决这些问题的常用方法，以及如何大声思考和解释自己的理由。有人会告诉您您不需要解决问题，面试官只关心您的想法。以我的经验，这是不正确的，您确实需要解决问题。但是，解决问题并不能保证继续前进，除非您清楚地说明如何获得答案。为什么选择这种特定的数据结构？您是如何提出该计划的？运行时间和空间使用量是多少？观看来自诸如Csjo之类的频道的访谈视频，将向您展示如何回答这些问题。
Practice In Your Interviews: There are going to be some companies you will interview with that you just aren’t as excited about as other places. Just do the interview for practice! This will help you build your experience and confidence in real-life interviews.
面试中的实践：将会有一些公司要面试，但您并不像其他地方那样兴奋。只要进行面试练习！这将帮助您建立现实采访中的经验和信心。

I prepared mainly using these strategies and supplemented with a few Leetcode problems (<30 problems total).

我主要使用这些策略进行准备，并补充了一些Leetcode问题(总共少于30个问题)。

为什么我拒绝所有报价？ (Why Did I Turn All The Offers Down?)

If you are in tech, you’ve definitely heard of imposter syndrome. Even before making my first strides into Computer Science, as far back as elementary and middle school, I’ve had imposter syndrome. No matter how big the award or milestone, I’ll only be happy with my work for a short moment only for the thought that I haven’t done enough to sink in soon after. The only “cure” to this feeling was/is external validation, which is exhausting and wholly unreliable to depend on.

如果您是技术人员，那么您肯定听说过冒名顶替综合症。甚至早在我进入计算机科学之前(甚至是中小学)，我就患有冒名顶替综合症。无论奖项或里程碑有多大，我都会对自己的工作感到满意，只是因为我认为自己做得还不够。这种感觉的唯一“治愈”是/是外部验证，这是疲惫不堪且完全不可靠的依赖。

I turned down these companies in an attempt to conquer my own imposter syndrome. I knew that the positions at Google and Facebook weren’t for me (though I would probably work at these companies in different capacities). Despite that, I still considered accepting them, for the sole reason of having a “big” name on my LinkedIn. It’s a good thing that both of those companies gave me semi-strict deadlines, so I ended up going with my gut and saying no.

我拒绝了这些公司，以征服自己的冒名顶替综合症。我知道Google和Facebook的职位不适合我(尽管我可能会以不同的身份在这些公司工作)。尽管如此，我仍然考虑接受他们， 因为在我的LinkedIn上有一个“大”名字的唯一原因。 两家公司都给了我半个严格的截止日期是一件好事，所以我最终还是直言不讳。

The hardest decision for me was turning down Microsoft. I was in the airport ready to fly home for winter break, and I had about 30 minutes to make my decision between Salesforce and Microsoft.

对我而言，最艰难的决定是拒绝微软。我当时正准备在机场飞回家过冬，而我在Salesforce和Microsoft之间只有大约30分钟的时间做出决定。

I made this entire scorecard while sitting in the gate, and you can see that the winner is Salesforce. But just because of the bigger name, I still considered going with Microsoft. Before typing up a rejection email to my Salesforce recruiter, I realized that if I don’t start living for myself now, I may never will. I initially felt sick after I sent the rejection email to my Microsoft recruiter and wanted to followup saying that I emailed the wrong person. But after a couple of weeks, I understood that I made the right decision for me.

我坐在大门口就制作了整个计分卡，您可以看到赢家是Salesforce。但是仅仅因为名字更大，我仍然考虑使用Microsoft。在给我的Salesforce招聘人员输入拒绝电子邮件之前，我意识到， 如果我现在不开始自己生活，我可能永远也不会 。在最初将拒绝邮件发送给Microsoft招聘人员后，我最初感到恶心，想跟进说我给错误的人发送了电子邮件。但是几周后，我明白我为我做出了正确的决定。

I still have a lot of work to do on my imposter syndrome, but this was a big first step for me.

关于冒名顶替综合症，我还有很多工作要做，但这对我来说是重要的第一步。

I’d love to hear your responses!
