So I worked at Google him on show as a software developer, a slash software engineer for a little over a year.
-
But my measure on my university wasn't computer size or computer engineering.
-
It was statistics.
-
So how was I able to get this job without a computer science degree?
-
I'm going to explain the process.
-
I personally used step by step.
-
So here I present the six steps I personally used for getting a job at Google as a software engineer.
-
Step one.
-
I took a few programming courses during my summer break, and that gave me enough technical basis to start learning on my own.
-
After that, these courses were on program basics on data structures on algorithms, and they were taught using java.
-
Step two.
-
I worked on a few personal projects.
-
First of all, I used the website called Project Oiler to work on my programming fundamentals.
-
Then my first real personal project after that was going to be like the reddit of Japan because nothing like read it existed in Japan at the time.
-
So I built a simple prototype using a language called Ruby, and he worked.
-
But in the end I was actually too afraid to release it.
-
Maybe I was too shy, but still, I enjoy the process a lot, and I enjoyed learning a new programming language on my own, too.
-
Step Three, thanks to my personal project, I eventually landed my first technical internship us at a tiny, tiny startup in Tokyo, and it was as a software engineer intern.
-
I think I was able to get that job partly because I had demonstrated without read It in Japan Project that I was able to build stuff with Ruby on something called Rubio.
-
Rails on Step Forth again Maur experience in the tech industry with a fume or intercepts, this time actually a Microsoft.
-
These internships were in something called their size on product management.
-
As I explained in the previous video, I was able to get these internships thanks to the combination off my statistics.
-
Back on my first technical internship as a software engineer on a few more personal project I worked on after the one I mentioned earlier, Step five, I prepared myself for software engineer interviews.
-
I use resource is like cracking the quoting interview on lead code.
-
I'm going to put links to those resource is below in case you're interested.
-
But I found that the most helpful thing I did by far for preparing for software engineer interviews was doing mock interviews with my friends.
-
Practicing with my friends was a really good practice for me, so I'd be less nervous in the actual interview on.
-
Actually, when I gave Mark interviews to my friends as if I'm the interviewer, that was really helpful to giving.
-
A mock interview to my friends helped me understand what it feels like to be in the interviewer shoes, and I think it's really, really important.
-
And this is a point that's often overlooked.
-
The reason why it's so important is because at the end of the day, your job interview, whether it's technical or non technical, it's just a form of a complication.
-
And just like in any other form of communication, it's crucial that you understand the other person's perspective in this case, the interiors perspective, not just yours.
-
On Step six, I applied, and actually I kept applying.
-
As I mentioned in the previous video, I applied to Google at least five times over the course of two years or so, and then I had five super interviews for five different positions at Google, and I got rejected the 1st 4 times, so I only got through the last one.
-
But the 1st 4 interviews I did they're never gonna be on my resume.
-
So nobody really cares that I failed four times at this point.
-
All right, those are the six steps, But there's something else I wanna tell you whether you're applying for a job, trying to start a business or looking for a girlfriend or boyfriend.
-
When you go for something you really want.
-
This whole process can be really hard, and it's actually really discouraging for most people.
-
So it's almost inevitable for you to keep getting rejected by your potential employers or by your potential girlfriends or boyfriends.
-
And if you're trying to start a business, it's also very common for your business.
-
Idea is to keep failing one after another, but at the end of the day, nobody cares of other things that didn't work out.
-
None of those rejections are not gonna be on your resume it so nobody will care about them.
-
The only thing that matters is what you get in the end.
-
So if you're in the process like that right now.
-
If you're going for something you really want, maybe it's hard.
-
Maybe you get discouraged sometimes.
-
But keep going because eventually you get there if you don't give up, Okay?
-
That's all I have for this video.
