      ❯❯ School-year internship: Some internships take place during the school year, from September to May. These programs are usually smaller, hiring is on an as-needed basis, and the entire process is less formalized. Usually, the intern does more work to find divisions who need extra help, networks with managers of those divisions, and then finally interviews for and accepts an internship position. You can get a more realistic view of what working at the company is like because there likely aren’t many other interns working with you, and you might be able to integrate more closely with the team.

      ❯❯ Fellowship: Many students get the itch to try a longer professional experience before graduation. These experiences, called fellowship programs, last six to twelve months and give a person enough time to work on a project to make a substantive contribution. For undergraduates, the work confirms an existing interest or creates an interest in a new area of technology. For graduate students, the work can highlight the difference between theory and practice, inform an area of research, or help them break into a new industry.

      Positions for internships are often more selective than positions for full-time jobs, so apply early and for more than one internship position. If you don’t receive an internship, try again for a full-time position. Companies have large hiring needs, and one purpose for hiring summer interns is to ensure that the interns have a great time at the company so when they return to campus they tell other students, who then feel more comfortable applying.

HOW BOB REN LEARNED TO CODE

      Between classes, clubs, hackathons, and internships, the possibilities seem endless for students in college or graduate school to learn how to code. Here is how Bob Ren, a college senior, stitched together his learning experiences while in school.

      Bob attended the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. After his first two years, he decided to take a break from school and gain some real-world experience at a technology company. He applied to and joined the fellowship program at Codecademy, a startup in New York. As a Codecademy fellow, Bob worked at the startup for one year as a full-time employee, was paid $80,000, and contributed to product development as an engineer. While at Codecademy, Bob contributed to a number of projects and wrote code to redesign the main website, add language support for Spanish and French, and develop an open-source platform called EventHub, which allows companies to understand various actions that visitors perform on a website.

      While at Codecademy, Bob also kept busy outside work. A few months into his fellowship, he attended the Techcrunch Disrupt hackathon, and created a common application for startups based on issues he faced applying for jobs at startups. Like the common application for college, the app was designed so students could enter their information once and apply to multiple startups at the same time. TechCrunch, the startup blog and event organizer, wrote about the project at www.techcrunch.com/2013/04/28/startup_common_application_hackathon.

      After the Disrupt Hackathon, Bob continued coding and built the following, either by himself or with a team before eventually joining Facebook as a software engineer:

      • LivingLanguage: A Chrome extension that translates random words on any web page into a foreign language you want to learn. The app won first place at the Facebook Summer Hackathon in 2013.
