Show Notes Chapter Markers

In today's episode of 'The Job Hunt', I sit down and chat with Hamza Khawaja, a 12x former intern at Google, Salesforce, and Tesla (and a LOT more), and current Product Fellow at Kleiner Perkins. We recorded over one and a half hour's of content, so in today's episode - and likely future ones - I'll be splitting each episode into multiple parts so you get the highlights in quicker, more digestible segments.

In Part One of a Four Part episode series, Hamza and I discuss his recruiting story and journey, and his eight takeaways for internship and job hunting success.

If you want these takeaways (and MORE), check out our notes + transcript page. If you have any further questions, feel free to reach out to us on LinkedIn (Hamza Khawaja // Bryan Wang). In the meantime, check out my newsletter for free recruiting resources, and stay tuned for our upcoming written guides on breaking into product!

Best of luck, and stay healthy + happy in these covidious times!
