I have been very busy interviewing for my internship opportunities. And it went quite well despite the fact that I got a rejection from a startup. At first, I was a little bit disappointed about how I blew the second phone interview. However, I quickly resumed my confidence as I kept getting email requesting interviews. Overall, the internship recruiting experience has been positive and I’ve learned tons of tips on things like “how to make your first impression” or “bugging the recruiters you know until you get an interview”. If it wasn’t my sister who is experienced with all of this, I could’ve been still blindly submitting my not-so-impressive resume electronically.

So I ended up taking the offer from Autodesk. Weird right? They are well-known for AutoCAD, and lots of 3D design software suite that are widely used in different industries. But why Autodesk? The most important determinant for me is the degree of impact I would make for a job, as well as the level of experience I would learn from the developers. Also, I originally set up a list of the language or frameworks that I want to learn/master for this summer. It turns out that I am going to use Ruby on Rails as the back-end to develop the project, which is great. Because I really need to learn Ruby on Rails by practical implementation.

I just need to take good care of the rest of the semester and occasionally learn Ruby on Rails from time to time before the first day of my internship! Woot woot!
