如何在沒有工作經驗的情況下獲得技術工作 (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.

我經營著一個名為Forge的免費社區，在那里我可以幫助學生駕馭技術招聘的世界。

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

大多數學生最擔心的問題之一就是沒有工作經驗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.

有時，在線申請可能會讓您的簡歷陷入困境。

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

好消息是，有多種方法可以使您的簡歷脫穎而出，而無需任何工作經驗。

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，我將向您展示5種獲得沒有以前工作經驗的技術工作的方法！ ( 如果您喜歡視頻，請單擊此處 )

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-如果您完成這5件事，您不會自動找到工作……您仍然必須在面試中將其殺死。 但是，不管您過去的經驗如何，它都將幫助您的應用程序脫穎而出。

競爭性編程 (Competitive Programming)

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

如果您不熟悉競爭性編程，那么它涉及解決比賽中的數據結構和算法問題(并很有趣)。

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

您解決的問題與您在技術面試中希望找到的問題類型相同。

Now I know what you’re thinking.

現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?”

“為什么我會在業余時間想進行假面試，我怎么會把它放在履歷表上呢？”

1.招聘人員非常重視競爭性計劃。 (1. Recruiters hold competitive programming in very high regard.)

Competitive programming can give you great practice.

競爭性編程可以為您提供出色的練習。

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

證明您參加了NAIPC和ICPC這樣的地方和國家比賽是一個巨大的優勢。

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

招聘人員搜尋諸如TopCoder和Kattis之類的在線網站，以查找來自不同大學的高級學生。

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

在比賽中排名很高是很重要的資產，但是即使參與進來也可以使自己步入正軌。

2.實際面試的好習慣 (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.

因為您已經做了很多準備工作，所以減輕了準備面試的負擔。

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

參加競爭性編程比賽并進行練習就像每天進行模擬采訪。

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

毫無疑問，當您真正接受采訪時，您將能夠殺死它！

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

檢查并查看您當地的大學是否有競爭激烈的編程俱樂部或團隊并加入！

黑客馬拉松 (Hackathons)

WAIT!

等待！

Don’t skip this section.

不要跳過本節。

You’re probably thinking:

您可能在想：

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

我已經去過大量的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.

在過去的幾個月中，我與很多技術招聘人員進行了交談，他們都說了同樣的話。

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

僅僅參加一堆Hackathons并推出隨機項目已經不夠了。

為什么？因為每個人都在做。 (Why? Because everyone is doing it.)

Having a winning résumé is all about differentiating yourself.

擁有一個成功的簡歷就是要與眾不同。

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

參加Hackathon并進行hacky項目并沒有什么特別的。

Everyone’s done it.

每個人都完成了。

There are 3 ways to use Hackathons to your advantage.

有3種利用Hackathons的優勢。

1.繼續您的項目！ (1. Continue your project!)

Recruiters love this.

招聘人員喜歡這個。

You’re showing you can code with a team for a long period of time
您正在展示可以與團隊長期合作
You’re showing that you can handle an application that has a real user base that requires updates and bug fixes
您正在展示可以處理具有真正用戶基礎的應用程序，該應用程序需要更新和錯誤修復
You’re showing that you can be passionate enough about a project to dedicate a large amount of personal time to it
您表明您可以對一個項目充滿熱情，將大量的個人時間用于該項目

Do these attributes sound familiar?

這些屬性聽起來很熟悉嗎？

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

應該，因為這些都是優秀員工擁有的所有特征！

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

請記住，招聘人員一直在尋找能證明您在獲得工作后會出類拔萃的技能。

Okay, winning is pretty tough.

好吧，贏球很難。

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，如果你碰巧做了堅實的項目，你最終贏得，你很可能會得到由贊助公司采訪。

3.聯網 (3. Networking)

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

公司贊助Hackathons使其名字出名并找到最熱門的最新人才。

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

帶來一些簡歷，并利用這次機會與招聘人員交談并與他們建立真誠的關系。

What is it like working at that company?

在那家公司工作感覺如何？

Does the culture fit your personality?

文化適合您的個性嗎？

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

您能看到自己作為全職員工在那工作嗎？

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.

您正在考慮一家公司，而他們正在考慮您。以此為契機，找到您真正有興趣工作的公司。

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.

作為本科生研究助理，您有機會在向該領域的專家學習的同時探索自己感興趣的研究領域。

Most students approach the situation in a very wrong way.

大多數學生以非常錯誤的方式來處理這種情況。

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

他們聯系了一位教授，并明確表示他們只對提高自己的簡歷感興趣。

Be genuine!

貨真價實！

I can’t stress that enough.

我不能太強調。

Do some research about professors at your university.

對您大學的教授進行一些研究。

What field are they in?

他們在哪個領域？

What work have they done?

他們做了什么工作？

Is that something that interests you?

那是您感興趣的東西嗎？

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線閱讀其論文之一，并要求與他們面對面討論。

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

您可以親自面對他們的領域表示興奮，并探討參與話題。

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

沒有帶薪職位？志愿工作總比沒有好。特別是如果您喜歡這個話題。

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

就我而言，我自愿參加了4個月的培訓，這使我獲得了為期8個月的付費研究期。

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.

不要讓找工作的壓力使您處于您不真誠或做自己感興趣的事情的位置。教授可以正確地看到這一點，這就是為什么大多數學生未能獲得研究職位的原因。

開源項目 (Open Source Projects)

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

如果您為公認的開源項目做出了很多貢獻，那么期待收到很多招聘電子郵件。

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

對開源項目的貢獻使您有機會展示使工程師在工作場所出色的所有技能。

Teamwork and communication
團隊合作與溝通
Production of reliable and user-ready code
生成可靠且易于用戶使用的代碼
Ability to jump into unknown territory, adapt, and make a positive impact
跳入未知領域，適應并產生積極影響的能力
Advanced knowledge of the framework or library that you’re contributing to
對您正在貢獻的框架或庫的高級知識

Is Google looking for a React developer?

Google是否在尋找React開發人員？

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

他們的第一站是React的GitHub頁面，以查找貢獻者。

Who would know a library better than those who helped author it?

誰會比幫助作者的圖書館更了解圖書館？

It can seem quite daunting at first, especially if you’re a beginner. The good news is there are tons of resources out there to help you navigate the world of open source contribution!

起初看起來似乎很艱巨，特別是如果您是初學者。好消息是，這里有大量資源可幫助您駕馭開源貢獻的世界！

領英和網絡 (LinkedIn & Networking)

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

如果您在科技行業擁有龐大的網絡，那么您很有可能已經找到了一份工作！

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

內部推薦是最強大的應用程序類型，擁有龐大的網絡可以很容易地獲得推薦。

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.

有很多學生喜歡將關于自己的3個段落以及他們的簡歷復制粘貼到在LinkedIn上找到的每個招聘人員中。

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上有一種特定的方法，可用來與Forge的招聘人員聯系，也可以為您服務。

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.

向他們發送連接請求并有禮貌地詢問他們是否愿意回答有關公司工作方式的1-2個問題。

Recruiters are usually happy to answer a couple of honest questions when it concerns their place of work.

招聘人員通常很樂意回答一些有關工作地點的誠實問題。

Like before:

像以前一樣：

Use this opportunity to talk to recruiters and build a genuine relationship with them.

借此機會與招聘人員交談并與他們建立真誠的關系。

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

如果一切順利，您甚至可以邀請他們下班后喝杯咖啡，并詳細了解他們的故事。

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.

如果他們喜歡您，請問他們是否認為您適合他們的公司。您甚至可以詢問他們是否愿意在內部提交您的簡歷。

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

確保您對所查詢的公司真正感興趣，以及您是否彼此適合。
