Previous time I was one day late to fill form for MLH fellowship this time I have filled it at time😅 . I am second year IT student and I also didn't contributed to open source yet. So can you please tell me the on boarding process after filling the form means procedure what is afterwards it .
First of all, All the very best. I hope you may make it this time.
So, After the online application there were two interview rounds:
First Round: This was a super casual 10-minutes discussion in which the interviewer asked me the same questions that were asked in the application form. I am not sure, but I think the interviewer was checking that I am comfortable with speaking English or not, and also rechecking that I satisfy the requirements asked in the application form.
Second Round: This was a 15-minutes technical round in which they told us to explain a project which we are proud of. I choose Bookshelf Reader. At first, I explained to the interviewer what the project does and then I went on explaining the algorithm that detects the spines. Since I had used an external library to create the whole algorithm, I went on explaining how the library is performing any specific task internally when I am calling its API.
At the end of the interview, I asked the interviewer for some feedback and his response was "I liked the thing that you know the internals of the library that you are using in the project" (which means you know what you are doing).
I was on the waitlist first, but after 2 days I got the mail that I have been selected to the program.
In my experience, they want to see how passionate you are. If you are a self-taught learner and you can explain the things that you have learned to others then you are already doing great.
Do they call out everyone for the interview or they shortlist on the basis of application
Yes, they interview applicants based on their application.
Thanks for the shout out :)
Working on Julia seems like a really cool project that you can talk about in the future. I've never worked on a language before and would be really interested in that kind of work. Congrats on all of the stuff you've accomplished during the Fellowship program!
Thanks, Jacob. ❤️ 😇
Hi Khatri. Are you required to hop on video calls everyday throughout the fellowship? Or do the discussions stay in text chat rooms like Discord?
The standup and retrospective calls are important but for event calls, you can watch the recorded sessions if you don't feel comfortable in joining one (also, not all the sessions are recorded). You can have discussions in text chat rooms or over a call, as per team members' inclusive decision.
Thank you.
Hey I wanted to ask which track did you applied for in the MLH fellowship whether it was 1) Explorer 2) Open Source 3) Externship?
