i'm ngl, you might have too much experience for STEP

#

I might be wrong though.

#

I did Explore (similar to STEP) last summer and I only had one internship prior

do they reject from STEP if you have a lot of prior experience as a first or second yr?

hmmm

#

im not tryna over shoot STEP

valid locust
#

from the people i know, none had any internships – at most TA or research exp

#

in general STEP looks for new experience in the CS/SWE field

#

ill just put researcher and TA at school then

#

Nah a lot of people on LinkedIn who I’ve seen get step were freshmen’s or sophomores with past internships, research, everything

#

isnt step for those w/little to no experience?

#

whilst google does look good on resume, its going to look wierd imo

I’m an incoming freshmen so I am still eligible to apply for the freshmen term or is at end of my freshmen year ??? I’m confused haha

hoary wigeon
#

nah it’s made for freshmen and sophomores

#

how would you stand out on your resume for step then if you shouldn’t put prior experience??

I have a friend who got STEP w/ research + internship first year its kind of rng tbh

#

definitely helps if you are urm

#

but you can still get even w/ internship

Yeah just try to apply as soon as the apps come out because if not you have less chance

Why for awards do you do

it looks like a penis

#

Other than that it looks good maybe move skills down to bottom

#

i mean i do have prior exp tho plus 2 pretty good projects, do i have a better chance of getting step if i exclude my internships??

violet mirage
#
