Wonderful, and where to get internship vacancies in the IT area specifically in the programming area, how do we go about getting these internship vacancies, where are they, how to find them, how to look for them? I'll show you step by step now. Speak Jedi Warrior!
Professor Márcio Santos here, welcome once again to Code CEO. Getting an internship in the IT area is not that complicated, it is only difficult for those who do not understand some processes that have to be respected and followed so that you can get your dream internship position within the specific programming. In this video the idea is to be able to answer at least three questions that you absolutely have if you are interested in doing an internship in the IT area.
First question, what does it mean to be an IT intern, and what does an IT intern do? Second question, types of IT internships, types of work for IT interns. Third Question, where to get an internship, especially for those in college.
So stay with me until the end of this video so you understand the step by step, the process necessary for you to go from being without an internship to being a hired intern. Let's go, then, what is an intern and what does an IT person do in their day-to-day work? First point, you have to understand this first question is that the intern is hired, okay?
For a specific period and he has to be studying either college or some technical education depending on the company, so I hire someone who is in technical education or high school. So you have to be in the process of studying in some area to be hired as an intern. and the reason for this is very evident, the intern will learn, you know, create a certain expertise within his/her area of training, so if you are doing high school linked to a technician or going to college in a specific area, you will be able to internships in your area specifically for you to see what day-to-day work is like, but the problem is that many people go to internships, they look for internships with a slightly distorted view of what an internship is.
The guy arrives at the internship, right, with focus I want to make money, calm down. The internship is not for you to make money, the internship is for you to learn how to deal with real situations in your professional life, which is why you will always intern in places that have to do with your training segment , be it mid-level or technical level. , whether at a higher level, okay?
So the main focus cannot be on making money, okay? Money will be a consequence but your objective has to be to be able to understand the job market and of course you will not depend solely on the internship to learn, right, you will add other things to be able to learn more and more about your level of your place of work, you will search the internet, read books, scientific articles, network, subscribe to the Code CEO channel, because only by subscribing here will you be able to access all the content that I post weekly to make you a programmer getting better and better, so don't make a mistake, don't sleep in the jungle, click the subscribe button and activate the notification bell, only then will you receive all the news when I post new videos here on the channel to add more and more knowledge and even help with your internship, sign up there. One more disagreement that people have is that they want an internship for the rest of their lives, man, wake up for life, the name suggests it, it's not for life, it's just a stage in your life.
So you will have a moment, a stage in which you will be in your learning process, but you will have to evolve, so you finished your internship, you understand, how it works in the job market, you created a certain expertise within the area, that's wonderful. , then you face the job market and you will really get your hands dirty working there, in this case, right, here at the channel working as a programmer, but there are a lot of people who prefer to stay on the internship for a long time, right, exchanging their time for a few coins instead of realizing that he can improve his level of performance as an employee, being a freelancer, it doesn't matter, and earning much more. And the worst part is that I have students like that at college, And look, public colleges have students who take PD on purpose just to be able to continue with a bond at college because they know that this bond is what keeps them in the internship, so see that public college students don't always have a certain ambition or greater cognitive privileges than private college students.
I even talk a lot about this in this video that is in the cards and also here in the description, check it out later so you don't lose the line of reasoning here in this video. Also understand, the company where you are interning will show you the core of the information, right, like this is how it works, this way, this is how this is done in the most efficient way, in short, it's just that the main skills you will have to run ago, research, study, take courses on the outside so you can acquire an additional range of knowledge that the company itself will give you through the internship. And pay attention to this tip, when a company hires when looking for an intern, it expects that at least this intern has a basic level of knowledge, it has to be at least at the trainee level, so if you are going to enter, for example, an analysis and development college of systems, you joined today and are already starting to look for an internship, you've never seen anything about programming, man, it's unlikely you'll get anything straight away, very difficult, because companies will want someone to add to the development team, OK?
So if you don't have any knowledge of programming, you don't understand anything about programming logic, you don't understand anything about algorithms, you won't get an internship easily, the company won't pay you a salary per month as an intern so you can keep looking at the computer, looking at the walls, she will want you to at least get some retribution back and that retribution through your knowledge. So you have minimum value there at the level of training already understanding the basics of programming to be able to have a chance in the process of competing for an internship position. I talk in depth about these levels of Trainee, Junior, and full programmer in this video of the cards that is in the description and that you will see later.
Wonderful, second question, what does the intern do? A lot of people think that the intern is just the guy who fetches coffee for the Senior developer, it's not just that, see what I said, it's not just that, he can do some favors like that too, but he's not just focused on that. The intern has to focus on being there on the Junior developer's side, on the Full developer's side, on the Senior's side, understanding how the company works in general, understanding how programming works at a professional level, he has to be in this constant monitoring.
So it's not like you arrive at the internship and stay there on TikTok, stay there on Insta watching little videos, anyway, but if you do that, take the opportunity to follow me on my social networks but I'm on TikTok I'm on Insta posting direct tips about programming the address is here on the screen and also in the video description. But that's not the focus, okay? You have to get there and understand that you are in a professional position, that you are earning to be there, so you have to work, you won't stay there having fun, one of the things that interns fail is precisely in this regard the guy gets there and sits down and he's just waiting to meet the demands, so this intern is a bad intern, he'll be a bad professional, he'll have bad jobs down the line, he won't even be able to open a company, he won't be able to work as a freelancer because he's already started wrong, he's already He started thinking incoherently, he thinks companies are going to pay him to watch little videos on TikTok, that's not how it works.
As a rule, one of the things that every intern will receive to start developing , right, developing their programming skills is some small algorithms, some short APIS, some connection with a database, small things that the intern can start to learn right away. develop some logical skills and for that you need to know at least how to program, right, so that's why I'm leaving here in the description the link to my programming logic course teaching you how to program from scratch until you master any language. programming the link is here in the description and also in the first pinned comment.
One more thing that interns also do a lot of white box and black box testing, especially black box testing, if you don't know what white box, black box, gray box testing is, check out this video of the cards that are Check the description later. By default, an intern will know all the company's processes, so there will be an IT department there, which is subdivided into infrastructure, cloud, Artificial Intelligence, software development, customer service support, software testing, various areas. all these areas so that both the company and the intern can understand which of the areas he is better at, because sometimes the guy comes in as a dev, you know, development intern, but he ends up migrating to the networks part because he has a better affinity so this is an excellent addition to the list both for the intern who will be able to see that area that he likes most and when he goes into the job market, looking for a job or opening his own company or working as a freelancer then the guy already knows what the direction that he should point to, and the company can also see which expertise this intern is best suited to because in a future hiring he already knows, this guy here as a network analyst he is not that good, but as a developer he is the man, so let's get this guy here to be a developer within the company.
So it is common for interns to enter but pass through various areas within the company. And put one thing in your head, if you are receiving several assignments, then at least your boss, your project manager, owner of the company, anyway, it doesn't matter, has confidence in your potential, if he didn't have that confidence he wouldn't I would give you so many assignments, so stay tuned if you are not receiving much to do, possibly your level of knowledge is not reaching the minimum required that the company is expecting. Wonderful, and where to get internship vacancies in the IT area specifically in the programming area, how do we go about getting these internship vacancies, where are they, how to find them, how to look for them?
I'll show you step by step now. First, where to get it? You can get it from private companies or public bodies, for example, your city hall, your city council, your city's Department of Justice, police station, etc.
Public bodies in general, and where are these vacancies? You can access the website called PCI Concurso, I will leave it here on the screen (PCIconcursos. com.
br/últimas) there you will see the latest internship vacancies in Brazil, of course, at some point something will appear in your city . So you can follow this every day, take a look and the vacancies that are available in various public bodies in your city will appear for you. And this tip alone is worth liking this video, hey, don't make a mistake, don't sleep in the jungle, click here to like it and that way YouTube realizes that this content is relevant and can deliver it to other people who also have this question about how get IT internship specifically programming internships.
Another place where you can also get internship positions at CIEE, the acronym appears here. CIEE is an entity that mediates contacts between public bodies and companies with Interns, so you register with CIEE and they will point out job vacancies for you. Of course you are they give you a little test so you have to have a minimum knowledge to be able to pass, if you don't pass then not even the CIEE will accept you as a candidate to enter an internship vacancy, you have to have the basic knowledge to know that You will take a test.
Another place where you can get internship positions in programming, within the college, as it is, generally more specifically public colleges have an internship sector where companies come into contact with this sector and there is a responsible person there, right? , a server from the college itself that captures these vacancies and the students who are registered or linked Here in this sector, we end up receiving these demands for internship vacancies in programming, and other areas too, right, we are talking about programming so it is interesting for you to check at your college, at your university if there is this internship sector, If there is, dude, make a mistake, leave your contact details there, register because then you will also receive internship proposals from companies and audiences that will contact that sector there. Another tip recommended by a teacher, man, this one is by far one of the best options you have.
Because many companies and professors have contact with several companies, they contact us, right, and we analyze which students are best suited to interns or to work directly as employees, okay? Companies approach the teacher and say, teacher, which student is the most dedicated, which student is the most dedicated, which student has the most knowledge in this area? So, we as teachers know, right, the profile of each student who says, oh this guy is good, oh that girl over there is very good in this area of development, oh that boy over there is very good at communication, we can get into the part support, so many companies keep in touch with teachers to look for interns, but then you have to stay alert, if you don't have a good academic performance the chances of a teacher recommending you are minimal.
So pay attention, if you have never received any recommendation from any professor, either, or the list of very good people is very extensive and it is not your turn to receive a recommendation yet, or you are not meeting the minimum academic requirements. to the point of receiving a teacher recommendation, pay attention to that. One more thing, you can also do volunteer work within companies, yes, you can go to a software company, man, no problem and offer your work as a probationary volunteer intern, without earning anything the teacher but I want to earn something, remember- If an internship for you to learn and earn is a consequence, if you develop excellent work within the company, you don't think that the owner, the boss, the manager, in short, will want to hire you in the future as an employee at that place, so think about it, OK?
Voluntary work sometimes also ends up generating long-term benefits, you have to take advantage of the internship, man, since you are in the corporate environment, you have to understand that you don't just need to work as an employee, you can also have a vision, right, to see the management part of that company and working in the future as a freelance programmer, opening your own systems development agency, nothing stops you from having this type of vision. So make the most of what you get within the internship, and one of the ways you can start to have this type of networking is by participating in the Jedi community. I'm leaving the link here in the description, also in this community , which is a group within Whats, we it's full of nerdy programmers there are just nerds there talking all the time about programming, development, software, systems, freelance performance there are a lot of great people there saying this all the time, the more you surround yourself with people like that the better for your professional development .
And don't forget, I'm leaving all these links that I commented here in the description and in the first pinned comment, to make this video more complete I'm going to recommend these two videos that are here on the side, check they are complements to this same subject, are you closed? Big hug and may the force be with you.
