Who does not want to be a part of the Facebook employers team? Are you a tech geek and an aspirant to join Facebook? Then check out these important tips to get there. First, get an internship so that you could learn and then earn on the go. Here is how you could get one by wise planning and execution.

 

Be A Bright Student

This means being a bright student as an all rounder. While scoring marks is definitely a huge advantage to get an internship or job in top companies, as for facebook, being an all rounder counts too. Here's how! A lot of interns get roped in during campus events. Your talent is observed and then sought for. Also, taking part in technical fests adds more pointers to your technical career anyway. So if Facebook has not been observing you, do not fret anyway, for that trait will not go wasted. You still get to climb the academic ladder that will ultimately result in a good career.

If you crack that, you will be taken to the facebook campus to again test your technical strengths. You will have to face a 45-minutes design interview that will test your designing and problem solving skills.

Ask Questions

At the end of both the interview sessions, you will be given chance to ask questions. Do not stay dumb or ask mundane questions at this point. Ask questions that actually display your enthusiasm and vigour to work. Even though they are just questions and not answers, the recruiters will be still assessing your passion with the kind of questions you ask. So better prepare yourself for this session too!
