Hong Kong

HK internship interview loop

Typical loop: online application → OA / take-home (optional) → HR screen → technical or case → manager chat → offer. Prepare: 90s self-intro (EN + 粵語/普通話), 3 project stories, and questions for them. Bring: portfolio link, GitHub, and one artifact you can explain deeply.

Internship prep

60-second self-intro template (internship)

1) Name + programme + year 2) One strength with proof 3) One project relevant to the role 4) Why this team Keep under 60–75 seconds; smile and pause.

Interview guides

Link interviews to your CareerAck labs

Map labs to stories: H5 portfolio = shipping UI; Kanban = state/CRUD; Node API + SQL = backend; Security lab = injection/password hashing; Deploy = ownership. Practice explaining trade-offs aloud.

Behavioral STAR cheatsheet for HK fresh grads

S/T: 1–2 sentences context. A: your actions (I, not we). R: metric or learning. Prep stories: teamwork conflict, failure, leadership without title, deadline, ethics.

OA & take-home survival tips

Read constraints twice. Start with a correct brute force if needed, then optimize. Comment assumptions. For take-homes: README, sample input, and time spent note. Never plagiarize.

STAR Method for Behavioral Interviews

Structure answers as Situation, Task, Action, Result. Keep results measurable when possible.

Technical Interview Checklist

Review DSA basics, prepare 2–3 project stories, practice aloud, and ask clarifying questions.

Technical screens

Technical phone screen — what to expect

Often 30–45 min: intro, 1–2 coding or conceptual questions, your project deep-dive, Q&A. Say your thinking aloud; ask constraints; start simple then optimize.

Experience shares

Consumer Internet — Product Design Intern
Design & UX

Portfolio walkthrough first. Then redesign critique on a messy settings page. They cared about trade-offs and accessibility, not fancy visuals only.

Local Bank Tech — Technology Summer Intern
Computer Science

HR asked STAR + why banking tech. Technical round: REST basics, one SQL group-by, and explain a project README. Tip: prepare a 60s Cantonese self-intro.

Harbor Tech — AI Intern
Artificial Intelligence

OA focused on arrays + one ML conceptual question. Onsite was system-design lite for a recommender.
