You’re landing interviews but you’re missing that final piece to drive the offer home !

After you get your first interview, there are many technical skills you must master to successfully complete your interview processes.

Python:

( Python is the default language of choice for technical interviews and the simplest programming language to learn. It is essential to be familiar with Python)

Data Structures and Algorithms + Big O Notation:

(When you do technical interviews, you will use Space and Time Complexity (Big-O), to measure the efficiency of your solution. It is essential to know and understand)

LeetCode:

(Leetcode questions are the most common types of problems you will receive in technical interviews. At an internship level, the Blind 75 is the bare minimum you should know and be able to solve while the Neetcode 150 is the most likely maximum you need to be able to land a job in big tech. This combined with company-tagged questions are all you need !)

HackerRank:

(Many companies use HackerRank as the platform of choice for Online Assessments (OA) - Workday being one of them.)

Big Tech companies which use HackerRank OAs

Completing the HackerRank Problem Solving (Basic) Skills Certification offers several concrete benefits for an undergraduate computer science student seeking software engineering internships, the crowning jewel of those being :

Increased Visibility to Recruiters: When you pass the certification, your application is automatically highlighted to companies on HackerRank when you apply to relevant job postings, making you stand out in a crowded applicant pool

CodeSignal:

CodeSignal is another platform of choice for Online Assessments (0A) specifically their General Coding Assessment (GCA) which is now known as the General Coding Framework (GCF). It is widely used by big tech companies for initial screening and has a standardized, objective Coding Score given for each attempt.
