Interview experience sharing

Autumn recruitment usually starts in March or April. As a senior, I should start preparing for the job fair for fresh graduates without considering the graduate entrance exam. As a programmer, most people choose to interview for technical positions. I think it is very important to carefully prepare your resume and interview, because there are really too many students who come to interview without preparation. We learned how to write a resume in CS461 in the fall. I think that the resume should be revised appropriately for different positions in different companies. I submitted a resume of a game planner in September last year. I successfully received an interview from Tencent. During the interview, the interviewer thought that my resume contained too much experience in technical positions. He believes that compared to game planners, participation in game design is more important than development. Although I still joined Tencent’s minigame development team, I was not accepted by Tencent during my summer internship. It is very important to identify the position you want to obtain and revise your resume.

This is a very simple index question that I encountered as an algorithm engineer. Given an integer array and a target number, return two index values. The sum of their corresponding array elements is equal to the target number. You can assume that there is only one answer and the same element cannot be used twice. This question seems to be able to get the answer using a simple order, but this is not an exam question encountered in school, and an interview question. The idea of ​​problem-solving is very important, we need to think about our own ideas to the interviewer. For some difficult questions, the interviewer does not expect you to be able to answer them correctly. They just want to know how you think about the difficult problem, so it is very important to explain your own ideas.

As an international student from China, if I want to get a non-technical job in China, my internship experience and the open source projects I participated in are very important. There are special graduation projects in our school that can help us gain a certain advantage on the resume, but just one project is not enough. I once wanted to submit a postgraduate student majoring in games at the University of Utah, but Utah requires students to have at least three complete projects to be eligible to submit an application. Before my senior year, I had almost zero internship and participation in projects, so I regretted that I missed the winter application.For seniors like us, there is not much time to prepare a resume and start applying.
