如何在没有工作经验的情况下获得技术工作 (How to get a tech job with no previous work experience)

I run a free community called the Forge where I help students navigate the world of tech recruiting.

我经营着一个名为Forge的免费社区，在那里我可以帮助学生驾驭技术招聘的世界。

One of the biggest fears most students have is the idea of finding a good job with no previous work experience.

大多数学生最担心的问题之一就是没有工作经验就找到一份好工作的想法。

Applying online can sometimes feel like you’re throwing your résumé into a black hole.

有时，在线申请可能会让您的简历陷入困境。

The good news is, there are ways to make your résumé stand out without having any work experience at all.

好消息是，有多种方法可以使您的简历脱颖而出，而无需任何工作经验。

In this article, I’m going to show you 5 methods to get a tech job with no previous work experience! (Click here if you prefer video)

在本文中，我将向您展示5种获得没有以前工作经验的技术工作的方法！ ( 如果您喜欢视频，请单击此处 )

P.S. — You won’t automatically get a job if you do these 5 things… You still have to kill it in the interview. But it WILL help your application stand out regardless of your past experience.

PS-如果您完成这5件事，您不会自动找到工作……您仍然必须在面试中将其杀死。 但是，不管您过去的经验如何，它都将帮助您的应用程序脱颖而出。

竞争性编程 (Competitive Programming)

If you’re not familiar with competitive programming, it involves solving data structures and algorithm problems in competitions (and for fun).

如果您不熟悉竞争性编程 ，那么它涉及解决比赛中的数据结构和算法问题(并很有趣)。

The questions you solve are the same type of questions you would expect to find during a tech interview.

您解决的问题与您在技术面试中希望找到的问题类型相同。

Now I know what you’re thinking.

现在我知道你在想什么。

“Why would I ever want to do fake interviews in my spare time, and how would I even put that on my résumé?”

“为什么我会在业余时间想进行假面试，我怎么会把它放在履历表上呢？”

1.招聘人员非常重视竞争性计划。 (1. Recruiters hold competitive programming in very high regard.)

Competitive programming can give you great practice.

竞争性编程可以为您提供出色的练习。

Showing that you’ve competed in local and national competitions like NAIPC and ICPC is a huge plus.

证明您参加了NAIPC和ICPC这样的地方和国家比赛是一个巨大的优势。

Recruiters scout online sites like TopCoder and Kattis to find high ranking students from different universities.

招聘人员搜寻诸如TopCoder和Kattis之类的在线网站，以查找来自不同大学的高级学生。

Ranking highly in competitions is a great asset, but even getting involved can get your foot through the door.

在比赛中排名很高是很重要的资产，但是即使参与进来也可以使自己步入正轨。

2.实际面试的好习惯 (2. It’s great practice for actual interviews)

Take some of the burden off preparing for interviews since you’ve already done a lot of preparation.

因为您已经做了很多准备工作，所以减轻了准备面试的负担。

Participating and practicing for competitive programming competitions is like doing daily mock interviews.

参加竞争性编程比赛并进行练习就像每天进行模拟采访。

There’s no doubt that when you actually get that interview, you’ll be able to kill it!

毫无疑问，当您真正接受采访时，您将能够杀死它！

Check and see if your local university has a competitive programming club or team and join it!

检查并查看您当地的大学是否有竞争激烈的编程俱乐部或团队并加入！

黑客马拉松 (Hackathons)

WAIT!

等待！

Don’t skip this section.

不要跳过本节。

You’re probably thinking:

您可能在想：

I already go to tons of Hackathons so I’m alright!

我已经去过大量的Hackathons，所以我很好！

I’ve talked to a lot of tech recruiters in the past few months, and they all say the same thing.

在过去的几个月中，我与很多技术招聘人员进行了交谈，他们都说了同样的话。

Just going to a bunch of Hackathons and coming out with random projects isn’t enough anymore.

仅仅参加一堆Hackathons并推出随机项目已经不够了。

为什么？ 因为每个人都在做。 (Why? Because everyone is doing it.)

Having a winning résumé is all about differentiating yourself.

拥有一个成功的简历就是要与众不同。

There’s nothing special about going to a Hackathon and making a hacky project anymore.

参加Hackathon并进行hacky项目并没有什么特别的。

Everyone’s done it.

每个人都完成了。

There are 3 ways to use Hackathons to your advantage.

有3种利用Hackathons的优势。

1.继续您的项目！ (1. Continue your project!)

Recruiters love this.

招聘人员喜欢这个。

• You’re showing you can code with a team for a long period of time您正在展示可以与团队长期合作

• You’re showing that you can handle an application that has a real user base that requires updates and bug fixes

  您正在展示可以处理具有真正用户基础的应用程序，该应用程序需要更新和错误修复

• You’re showing that you can be passionate enough about a project to dedicate a large amount of personal time to it您表明您可以对一个项目充满热情，将大量的个人时间用于该项目

Do these attributes sound familiar?

这些属性听起来很熟悉吗？

It should, because these are all the traits a great employee has!

应该，因为这些都是优秀员工拥有的所有特征！

Remember, recruiters are always looking for skills showing that you’ll excel once you get the job.

请记住，招聘人员一直在寻找能证明您在获得工作后会出类拔萃的技能。

2.如果您获得赞助商奖，他们会经常采访您 (2. If you win a sponsor’s prize, they’ll often interview you)

Okay, winning is pretty tough.

好吧，赢球很难。

But if you happen to make a solid project and you do end up winning, you’ll likely get interviewed by the sponsoring company.

但是，如果你碰巧做了坚实的项目， 你最终赢得，你很可能会得到由赞助公司采访。

3.联网 (3. Networking)

Companies sponsor Hackathons to get their name known and to find the hottest newest talent.

公司赞助Hackathons使其名字出名并找到最热门的最新人才。

Bring a couple résumés, and use that opportunity to talk to recruiters and build a genuine relationship with them.

带来一些简历，并利用这次机会与招聘人员交谈并与他们建立真诚的关系。

What is it like working at that company?

在那家公司工作感觉如何？

Does the culture fit your personality?

文化适合您的个性吗？

Can you see yourself working there as a full-time employee?

You’re considering a company as much as they’re considering you. Use this as an opportunity to find companies you’re genuinely interested in working for.

您正在考虑一家公司，而他们正在考虑您。 以此为契机，找到您真正有兴趣工作的公司。

研究助理 (Research Assistant)

Being an undergraduate research assistant is an opportunity to explore a field of study you’re interested in while learning from an expert in the field.

作为本科生研究助理，您有机会在向该领域的专家学习的同时探索自己感兴趣的研究领域。

Most students approach the situation in a very wrong way.

大多数学生以非常错误的方式来处理这种情况。

They contact a professor and making it clear they’re only interested in something to boost their résumé.

他们联系了一位教授，并明确表示他们只对提高自己的简历感兴趣。

Be genuine!

货真价实！

I can’t stress that enough.

我不能太强调。

Do some research about professors at your university.

对您大学的教授进行一些研究。

What field are they in?

他们在哪个领域？

What work have they done?

他们做了什么工作？

Is that something that interests you?

那是您感兴趣的东西吗？

One of the best approaches is to read one of their papers online, and ask to discuss it with them in person.

最好的方法之一是在线阅读其论文之一，并要求与他们面对面讨论。

In person, you can express your excitement for their field and approach the topic of getting involved.

您可以亲自面对他们的领域表示兴奋，并探讨参与话题。

No paid positions? Volunteer work is better than nothing. Especially if you enjoy the topic.

没有带薪职位？ 志愿工作总比没有好。 特别是如果您喜欢这个话题。

In my case, I volunteered for 4 months which got me an 8 month paid research term.

就我而言，我自愿参加了4个月的培训，这使我获得了为期8个月的付费研究期。

Don’t let the stress of finding a job put you in a position where you’re not genuine or doing what interests you. Professors can see right through that, and that’s why most students fail to get a research position.

不要让找工作的压力使您处于您不真诚或做自己感兴趣的事情的位置。 教授可以正确地看到这一点，这就是为什么大多数学生未能获得研究职位的原因。

开源项目 (Open Source Projects)

If you contribute a lot to recognized open source projects, expect a lot of recruitment emails.

如果您为公认的开源项目做出了很多贡献，那么期待收到很多招聘电子邮件。

Contributing to open source projects gives you the chance to showcase all the skills that makes an engineer great in the workplace.

对开源项目的贡献使您有机会展示使工程师在工作场所出色的所有技能。

• Teamwork and communication团队合作与沟通
• Production of reliable and user-ready code生成可靠且易于用户使用的代码
• Ability to jump into unknown territory, adapt, and make a positive impact跳入未知领域，适应并产生积极影响的能力
• Advanced knowledge of the framework or library that you’re contributing to对您正在贡献的框架或库的高级知识

Is Google looking for a React developer?

Their first stop is React’s GitHub page to find the contributors.

领英和网络 (LinkedIn & Networking)

Chances are, if you had a giant network in the tech industry, you would already have a job!

如果您在科技行业拥有庞大的网络，那么您很有可能已经找到了一份工作！

Internal referrals are the most powerful type of applications, and having a giant network makes it easy to get referrals.

内部推荐是最强大的应用程序类型，拥有庞大的网络可以很容易地获得推荐。

There are a lot of students that love to copy and paste 3 paragraphs about themselves, along with their résumé, to every recruiter they find on LinkedIn.

有很多学生喜欢将关于自己的3个段落以及他们的简历复制粘贴到在LinkedIn上找到的每个招聘人员中。

That is how to NOT get a job.

那就是不找工作的方法。

I have a specific method on LinkedIn that I use to reach out to recruiters for the Forge that can work for you too.

我在LinkedIn上有一种特定的方法，可用来与Forge的招聘人员联系，也可以为您服务。

Send them a connection request and a message politely asking if they would be open to answering 1–2 questions about what it’s like to work at their company.

Like before:

像以前一样：

If things go well online, you could even invite them to grab a coffee after work and learn more about their story.

If they like you, ask them if they think you would be a good fit for their company. You can even ask if they would feel comfortable submitting your résumé internally.

如果他们喜欢您，请问他们是否认为您适合他们的公司。 您甚至可以询问他们是否愿意在内部提交您的简历。

Make sure you’re genuinely interested in the company you’re inquiring about and whether you would be a good fit for each other!
