About this course: You’ve hit a major milestone as a computer scientist and are becoming a capable programmer. You now know how to solve problems, write algorithms, and analyze solutions; and you have a wealth of tools (like data structures) at your disposal. You may now be ready for an internship or (possibly) an entry-level software engineering job. But can you land the internship/job? It depends in part on how well you can solve new technical problems and communicate during interviews. How can you get better at this? Practice! With the support of Google’s recruiting and engineering teams we’ve provided tips, examples, and practice opportunities in this course that may help you with a number of tech companies. We’ll assist you to organize into teams to practice. Lastly, we’ll give you basic job search advice, and tips for succeeding once you’re on the job.
Who is this class for: Undergraduates looking for a software engineering internship or full-time job. Professionals looking to make a career shift towards software engineering. Computer science enthusiasts looking to polish their technical communication skills. Anyone curious about what goes on in a technical interview, and how to use psychology and research to combat self-doubt and set yourself up for success.
