Show notes:

The process of landing internships - resume building, networking, joining student associations, competitions, seminars/conferences. 

Hardest moment recruiting - starting. A good solution for this tough time is finding guidance and mentorship. 

How to find mentorship - Ask. 

• Find someone that is doing what you want to do. 
• Find leadership programs
• Build relationships with people (following up with emails, sharing content, introducing them to new people, doing favors) 

Machine learning in healthcare 

• Data access 
• Areas of opportunity : disease detection, drug discovery
• Collaboration: Nurses and care givers, researchers, policy makers, administrators

Skills for Computer Science majors to consider:

• The field is technical enough and if you want to stand out, you have to set yourself apart from others by exploring fields outside CS like: public speaking, business, agriculture, healthcare, etc.) Try to do a minor or take a course. 

Competitions

• Help you break the shyness of public speaking 
• Introduce you to intensive teamwork 
• Strategy thinking 

Symbiont - value prop

Start up experience - All students working on a startup - management of time and commitment - communications - Delegation is key - team decision making - trust - adding more people 

Personal / professional development as a result of joining a startup - how to present yourself as a professional, delegation and trusting team mates. 

Advice: When starting a business, focus on the problem, not a solution. It will give you greater flexibility down the road.
