Internship Write-ups¶
First-hand accounts from UofA students of how they got an internship and what it was like. This is the information no careers page or chatbot has: which postings actually led to interviews, what the rounds looked like, and what the work was really like.
What a Write-up Covers¶
Each write-up is one internship, signed with its term so you can judge how current it is.
| Field | Example |
|---|---|
| Company | Company name |
| Role | Software Developer Intern |
| Term and length | Summer 2026, 4 months |
| Location | Edmonton, hybrid |
| Through SIP? | Yes or no (what SIP is) |
| How you got it | Where you found the posting, when you applied, referral or cold application, your year |
| Interview format | Rounds and topics in general terms (online assessment, technical, behavioural, take-home) |
| The work | Team, stack, what you shipped, mentorship, culture |
| Pay | Optional, hourly or monthly in CAD |
| Return offer | Yes, no, not yet known, or prefer not to say |
| Advice | What you'd tell a UofA student applying next year, including courses that helped |
Describe interviews in general terms. Don't post exact questions or anything covered by an NDA (Contributing).

For Maintainers¶
Each form submission becomes one page in this folder (docs/career/internships/company-role-term.md), built from templates/internship.md with the form's answers filled into the frontmatter and sections. Add a link to it in the list above.
