Internship how-to

At the end of my semester teaching at Georgia State University, I put together a one-pager on the steps to go through to get a job in tech. Throughout the semester, I found that many students didn't know that they should be trying to get internships ahead of trying to get a full time job. Some of those who did know weren't sure where to look or what they needed to know to apply. And plenty of students didn't feel they were prepared to tackle a technical interview. I reviewed many resumes throughout the semester and worked with students one-on-one to help them prepare for technical interviews and job applications, but I wanted to leave something for the school to use after I returned to Meta. This one-pager and the more expansive website are tools that can be used by any students studying computer science who want to get a job in industry.
