2020 Summer Internship Interview Experience | Microsoft/Shopee/ASML/Ogilvy/Nivea/ViewSonic, etc. (Part 1)
The 2019 summer internship interview made me realize that I was far behind everyone when I entered the business field for the first time.Opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared. Don't be faced with opportunities and instead just make excuses saying that you are too late to prepare.So I took advantage of the remaining time to study hard, hoping to bring myself one step closer to my dream~ (If you are interested, you can click here to take a look:2019 Summer Internship Interview Experience│Cathay Bank/Eagle/ Searching C/Public Welfare Communication Foundation)
I understand that in the process of looking for an internship, the information on the Internet is valuable, so I also record the problems and experiences I encountered during interviews with various companies for reference by those who need it. However, because the article has been put aside for too long, I have not written it, and the application timetable and The question may not be very accurate, so please forgive me!

Microsoft internship interview experience
When I applied to Microsoft, I adopted a different application method because I met James who was an intern at Microsoft through LinkedIn. After communicating, I found out that he wanted to try working in a start-up, and I wanted to try working in a large company, so we helped each other submit resumes XD
(If you are curious about LinkedIn management, I can write more related information in the future! I love LinkedIn so much hahaha)
However, the overall Microsoft interview process made me a little tired hahaha. The main reason is that the supervisor of my delivery team thought that I was suitable for another department. When I was transferred to another department for the interview, the supervisor thought that I was more suitable for marketing (the previous department) )
I think the entire interview process experience at Microsoft is quite good, and the interviews at the company are also highly valued. The aura of the two department heads is shocking. Although it is a pity that I can't get an internship at Microsoft, I will share all the interview questions with you. Friends in need, I hope you can get the offer smoothly❤️

Shopee internship interview experience
I really wanted to join Shopee's summer intern at first, but unfortunately I didn't get the chance. But then HR called me a month later and told me that there is currently a demand for long-term interns. After seeing my resume, he wanted to invite me for an interview! Although it is not the position I want most, I still have to seize the opportunity. I think it is not a bad thing to understand the whole story of Shopee from different positions😙
The main interview questions are as above. You may be in a hurry to recruit people, so you only have one interview. I am very happy to get the offer and have the opportunity to join Shopee service. If you are interested in the future, I can share with you my experience of interning at Shopee~
3. ASML Regional Planner Intern Interview
(This interview is not a summer internship interview, it is an interview experience for a long-term internship later)
schedule
2020.05.xx Forgot when to deliver
2020.06.10 Received a call from ASML asking about the desired internship area (Linkou or Hsinchu)
2020.06.10 Received a notification from ASML
2020.06.16 Interview at ASML Hsinchu headquarters
2020.06.23 Received thank you letter
ASML internship interview questions (all in Chinese)
Because my supervisor had an impromptu meeting that day, the interview lasted less than half an hour. Because I didn’t take too many notes, there are fewer interview questions listed here~
1.Introduce yourself
2. Job introduction, do you have a certain understanding of the job?
3. Your resume mentions the SAP warehouse class. What do you usually do?
4. Why do you want to come to ASML?
5. What value do you think you can provide ASML?
6. Are you a careful person?
7.Is Excel good?
8. Is your English good? Can I communicate with foreigners?
ASML internship interview experience
ASML applied for an internship in a relatively different industry, which involved a bit of personal nostalgia, hahaha. The reason is that ASML also has a branch in Taichung, and they hope to return to Taichung as soon as possible, so they hope to understand ASML first through the internship. This company culture will make it clearer what kind of talents they need in future delivery work!
I was very surprised when I arrived at the ASML Hsinchu headquarters. I really liked the atmosphere of the place and the feeling of the internal working environment. There was less time for the interview that day and I didn’t have the opportunity to chat more with the supervisor, but I felt that the supervisor heard that I was from Taoyuan. I asked about my commuting method and time, but it seemed like I had no interest XD
It's a pity that I don't have the opportunity to join ASML this time. I will continue to work hard ><~~

9. Do you have any experience communicating with foreigners?
Azuro Republic internship interview experience
Azuro Republic is looking for interns to work remotely and occasionally come into the office. This time I used LINE video voice to conduct two interviews. The first interview was for the BD supervisor, and the second interview was for the boss, and almost all of them were in English. What's more special is that their BD team includes three groups: backlinks group, keywords group, and direct sale. Because I am very interested in SEO, I applied for their BD intern.
But for me, because I rarely practiced speaking English at that time, my expressive ability was greatly limited, and I was really embarrassed~
I didn’t receive any thank you letter afterwards, but I knew that I was cheating during the interview process, so I also had a certain amount of psychological preparation hahahahahahaha
Summer interview experience summary
Although not all the above internship interviews are for summer internships, and I will talk more about summer internship experiences in the next article, butI think that in every interview, you can re-examine your situation, the blind spots in your resume, and your coping abilities.. In addition to collecting questions that will be asked for this position in every interview, you can also learn more about how to present your resume's advantages through supervisor Q&A.
⭐️Share with you what I would do during an interview⭐️
- Sort out what three major values your resume can provide to the company.
- Go to the website to search for frequently asked questions from various companies, and use their methods to explain your own experience.
- Understand the company culture and what their top products are
- After the interview, sort out all the questions you were asked that you were not prepared for and continue your next effort.
Every interview will be a rare opportunity to practice!
Today I will introduce J sample first! Wait for my next article to introduce those companies that I didn’t get the chance to interview with hahaha. By sharing information about written tests and phone interviews, everyone can get one step closer to the offer, and I can also get it together:)
