Ooreoluwa Fasawe: Software Development Engineering Intern at Amazon in Austin, TX.
The biggest step [to finding an internship] is simply applying, even if you're uncertain about how you'll fare or how ready you are. This increases your chances from 0:100 to 50:50 (or any ratio that isn't 0:100). The worst-case scenario is a rejection, but the best outcome could be landing an internship you'd be proud of. After deciding to go for it, thorough preparation becomes crucial. I suggest being proactive and reaching out to recruiters through occasional cold emails to improve your chances.
The best part was getting to meet so many smart and awesome people from different backgrounds and interests. It really helped me learn and grow in my knowledge and skills. Plus, exploring Austin when I wasn't working was a lot of fun.
There are numerous internships available for freshmen and sophomores that can enhance their prospects for future internships. Applying for these opportunities can help you initiate the application process before your junior year. [editor's note: This is Oore's third internship. He also interned at Meta/Facebook and Google.]
Emmanuel Alonge: Software Engineering Intern at Liberty Mutual Insurance in Carmel, IN.
For me, it was very important to familiarize myself with the interview process and then prepare for each stage adequately. Online resources help with this. Prepare while you can! Stay sharp on your technical skills because they will be the key to unlocking interview opportunities and internships. Networking with older students in the major and alumni are extremely valuable as well.
Thao Nguyen: Software Developer Intern at Amazon in Austin, TX.
I think just being in a real-world working environment and working with real professionals really inspired me to work hard in the next semester. I was very lucky to have both great co-workers and a great employer who both taught and guided me throughout my time.
My summer project was to automate the Retail Category in Shopping Guides. My quote: "Work hard in silence. Success out loud!"
Tuan (Alan) Le: Data Science Intern at Zotec Partners in Carmel, Indiana.
As a CS major, my advice for securing an internship would be to focus on expanding your practical skills beyond what you learn in school. While classroom education is essential, the tech industry values hands-on experience. To stand out, consider these tips: Diversify Your Skillset, Problem-Solving Practice, Personal Projects, Networking.
During my internship as a data science intern, the most thrilling and rewarding experience was applying my machine learning knowledge to solve tangible real-life problems. I had the opportunity to work on projects that had a significant impact on the company's operations, from collecting and cleaning large datasets to developing and fine-tuning machine learning models. Collaborating with cross-functional teams expanded my understanding of the broader business context, and overcoming unexpected challenges honed my problem-solving skills. Learning from experienced data scientists and mentors was invaluable, and seeing the measurable impact of my work reinforced the value of data-driven decision-making. This internship not only deepened my technical expertise but also demonstrated the transformative potential of data science in driving positive change within organizations.

Throughout the time I spent here, I not only experienced the realities of working life but also acquired valuable skills and knowledge that I can continue to develop in the future. This valuable experience has not only deepened my passion for the industry but also equipped me with essential skills and knowledge that will undoubtedly pave the way for my success both in college and in my future career path.
Emily Lewis: Software Development Xtern at Accutech Systems Corporation in Muncie, Indiana. (Emily is the woman on the right.)
As part of my program, I got to volunteer, do professional development, and explore Indy on the weekends! It was an amazing way to get to know the city.
My key to a successful internship was curiosity. Ask questions about established practices, shadow coworkers with different titles, and just try to take in as much as possible each day. Going in with an open mind helped me learn and grow.
Start your summer 2024 internship process soon! Many applications happen in the fall.
