Typical interview steps

Internship hiring usually involves a resume review, a behavioral conversation, and sometimes a skills exercise. Candidates are evaluated for potential, curiosity, and communication rather than deep experience. Show interest, ask questions, and prepare examples from projects or coursework. Interviewers at this level care most about motivation and coachability. Real examples from projects, classes, or clubs beat generic answers.

Questions to ask

Useful questions for the interview: what a typical week looks like, how work is assigned, what tools the team uses, and how feedback works. Asking how the role has changed recently and what the team wishes it had known when joining is also reasonable. Questions about the manager's priorities are especially valued.

Career growth

Internships are a bridge to early careers. A strong internship leads to a full-time offer and a head start on experience. Interns who take ownership, ask questions, and document their work get the most out of the program. Interns who treat the program like a real job, with follow through and visible ownership, convert to full-time offers at the highest rates.
