Ananya’s Answer

Computer Science is a very interesting major, and it's important to understand, that it can be applied to any Business or Industry.

As a Computer Science major at University, it's really important to apply for Summer Internships, Research Positions, Co-Ops, and Rotational Technology Programs. With hands on experience in the industry, you will build your experience and resume. Often times, Companies will recruit and build their pipeline, from the Internship and Rotational Technology Program pool. It's really important to always be a top-performer at your organization and build your network, leveraging tools like LinkedIn.
