Career Guides for Students and Freshers

Your first career decisions matter less than your rate of learning. Choose roles and internships that maximize skills, mentorship and feedback.

Build proof of work: projects, open-source contributions, writing or freelance work. A portfolio beats a list of skills on every resume screen.

Internships are the highest-leverage move for students. Apply early (3-6 months ahead), apply broadly, and tailor your resume keywords to each posting.

Network without networking: ask alumni specific questions about their work, share what you are building, and follow up. Most referrals come from genuine conversations.

Prepare your applications with our free Resume Builder and ATS Checker to make sure your resume gets past automated screens.
