Interview
A recruiter contacted me to know if I would be interested in an internship position. A few follow-up emails later (discussing my background, current position and grades) I was suggested to have a call and discuss in more details. The recruiter was super nice and friendly, definitely on the side of interviewee! I wasn't however a good match for a software engineering internship as my main focus is Data Science. (Yes, you still go through a software engineering internship hiring process if you're a Data Scientist) I definitely plan to improve my Software Engineering skills and re-apply. My recruiter proceeded with a follow up email providing a vast amount of very useful material and tools for development. Overall, I am very satisfied with my experience and look forward to try again.
