Are you looking for interns?

Facebook is always looking for interns and has a great intern program. See https://www.facebook.com/careers/department?dept=interns&req...

Thanks for the link, I'll try that. At the career fairs, the recruiters have indicated they filter out people like me who aren't juniors in college, so I'm so looking for someone on the inside to help me get past this barrier.

Is the problem that you're younger than that or older than that?

In the case that you're younger, at Google, we offer something called Engineering Practicum internships. In this program, you get paired up with another freshman or sophomore, and work on an intern project together.

Feel free to email me if you're interested in this. I'm doing some heavy data analysis and would be more than happy to host some interns next summer.

As an Eng Practicum alum, I can't recommend this internship enough. You'll write code that matters, learn a ton about 'real-world' engineering at scale, and meet some amazing people.

If you're a freshman or sophomore, apply!

I do a bunch of on-campus recruiting at Facebook.

For freshmen we recommend FBU: https://www.facebook.com/careers/university/fbu

Everyone else should check out regular internships or new grad positions: https://www.facebook.com/careers/university

We (I'm another eng at FB) definitely hire interns who are not juniors in college. You can be younger or older (or you could be a junior - I did my internship here after junior year).

As I understand it you just need to be going back to school at the end of your internship.
