I’m a sophomore Computer Science student, and I’m starting to think seriously about getting an internship next summer. I know a lot of people start this process much earlier, but I was focused on getting through my classes. Now I’m feeling a bit overwhelmed! Specifically, I’m interested in software engineering or maybe something related to…
I’m starting to think about applying for internships, and everyone keeps telling me how important they are for building my "professional network." Honestly, that just sounds like corporate jargon. I understand theoretically that having a network is good, but I don’t see how an internship, especially one that’s remote, is going to magically connect me…

I’m trying to be more mindful of how I communicate at work. I feel like sometimes I’m not as clear as I could be, or maybe I’m not reading the room right. I’m looking for concrete examples of common communication mistakes people make, especially in an office environment. Think things like: Specific phrases or words…
Okay, so I’m prepping for some job interviews, and everyone keeps saying "communication skills are key!" Which makes sense, I guess. But how do employers actually measure that during the interview process? I’m not talking about just saying I’m a good communicator, I mean what are they looking for specifically? For example, is it just…
