Just completed my first week at Microsoft! I am so thankful to my team for their warm welcome and I am excited to grow my skills this summer! Starting off a new internship can be quite daunting; however, my number one tip in the beginning, is to make connections. Here are a couple ways to do so: 📌 Set up coffee chats with your team! Learn as much as you can about the company, your team, and how your project fits into the greater scope of your organization. 📌 Set up 1:1's with you manager/mentor to set clear expectations and goals for your internship. 📌 Make friends! Ask fellow interns for lunch, go to events when possible, and build your peer-peer network of support. 📌 Set up coffee chats with people whose interests/values align with your own: explore other company disciplines, find alumni from your university/college, or people from your hometown! Goodluck to everyone interning this summer, and for those still searching, keep going, while rejections can be plentiful, it only takes one "yes" to change your life! PS: No internship? Check out resources such as The Tech Cadets to build technical experience this summer! #womaninstem #blackwomeninstem #nsbe

A Leap of Faith: From a Tier 3 College to a Microsoft Internship Imagine being a third year student at a Tier 3 college, miles away from the glitz and glamour of the tech giants, yet nurturing a dream to make it big in the IT industry. Sounds challenging, right? But what if I told you that not only did someone dare to dream this, but also turned it into reality? 🎥 In my latest video, I bring you the awe-inspiring journey of a young aspirant Ruma Karn from my alma mater, BIT Sindri. She didn't let her background define her future. She took on the challenge head-on and secured a 2-month internship at none other than Microsoft! Watch the full video here: https://lnkd.in/g9JMrNyd Here’s a sneak peek into the topics we covered: ✅Her Journey: How she embarked on this path and the steps she took to reach her goal. ✅Challenges Faced: The obstacles she encountered and how she overcame them. ✅Interview Preparation: Her unique approach to preparing for the Microsoft interview. ✅Interview Rounds: A detailed walkthrough of the interview process at Microsoft. ✅Internship Learnings: Key takeaways and skills she gained during her internship. ✅Perspective Shift: How her views about software engineers changed after joining the IT industry. This video is not just about one person's success story. It's about every student who dares to dream big, every individual who refuses to be defined by their circumstances, and every aspirant who is ready to put in the work to turn their dreams into reality. Don't miss out on this motivational journey and let's spread the word to inspire countless others on their path to success! #MicrosoftIntern #TechJourney #OvercomingChallenges #InterviewTips #InternshipExperience #SoftwareEngineering

Proud mentor moment 🤩💫 2 of my career students landed summer internships at Microsoft & Amazon for the upcoming summer!! One of these students booked a coaching 1:1 with me, the other attended one of my workshops, and this is what they had to say about it ⬇️ "Morgan related to me on so many levels, and we had a great chat. She helped me out with a lot of things including the recruitment cycle, the best options for me, and the anxiety and stress that comes with a career in tech. 10/10 Morgan :)" ~ Anushka, Incoming SWE Intern at Amazon '24. "I really appreciated the time Morgan took to thoroughly go through the resume and application process of applications for internships and such. Especially for someone like me who wants to pivot into the more technological industry and product management, she did a great job explaining the entire process in detail and emphasizing how, nowadays, having a cover letter is something she still finds to be important, which I especially agree with trying to break into the field of product management. This was very worth it and an invaluable session for me to attend and be a part of." ~ [name redacted for privacy at the request of the individual], Incoming SWE Intern at Microsoft '24. Words cannot describe how proud I am of these two, and they truly put in the work to make it happen! 💡 If you want to be like these two and land your dream internship or early career role, my calendar & inbox are open! ➡️ Book a 1:1 with me ⇒ https://lnkd.in/duVG8gkK ➡️ Get your resume reviewed by me ⇒ https://lnkd.in/gj9hGkVu ➡️ Secure a 1:1 recurring monthly mentorship spot with me ⇒ https://lnkd.in/d7NqnJFC ➡️ Subscribe to my early careers newsletter ⇒ https://lnkd.in/gAdbCWDn #earlycareer #jobsearchtips #internships #summerinternship #jobsearch
