First of all, if you arrived here is because you find this on google or another search page, or someone shared the link with you. Any case, please share the link (If you think the gist link is too big, here you have: https://goo.gl/8t36Wq) with all the people you think will take advantage of this. Thank you.
If you don't want to read about what is this document about, why I created, a bit about me and all that boring stuff, click here to go to the index directly.
I specify some of the programs for the school years they're recommended to, but if the program itself doesn't say is a requirement to be on a particular year, and you feel prepared enough to a higher program, go ahead. But just in case, apply to the ones of your year, some companies tend to think that the preparation is directly proportional to the year in school.
Almost all the sections are under construction. When I finish all the general stuff and a lot of internship sections I will consider it as finished and with updates on websites or new internships I learned about.
I decided to create this file cause I think is essential to all students to know about the opportunities they have, maybe you know about the opportunities in your city, in your country; but what about the idea of working in one of the biggest (and not so big) companies? I'm from Mexico, and I study there. I had the good luck to know about some opportunities because of the college I decided to go to, but I know that if I had chosen another school, I would have missed this chance to know about internships at Facebook and Microsoft and by that missed my opportunity to intern at Facebook.
I know that for a lot of American students is easy to understand about this cause their career fairs and all that, but in other countries, all the people think that the opportunity to apply to the big companies is when you graduate and have some expertise in a role, and only then you can try to apply. But the real thing is that the opportunity is there, in the internships, since high school. If you're an American student, this could work to know about other companies you never thought about, or they didn't go to your career fair, if you're from somewhere else, you can see in here all the opportunities.
I encourage you to apply no to only the one you dreamed about, but to all the ones you think are for you. Maybe the company you liked the most made a mistake and didn't accept you, but other company did accept you. Grab that opportunity and make it yours, you will have the chance of having a great internship, to learn a lot and also have the experience to try again to the first company or maybe you will fall in love with the one that accepted you (something that is happening me with Facebook).
If they reject you, don't feel bad. Is not cause you're bad, there are usually to options:
- They made a mistake cause you were nervous and something happened
- You are not yet there
If you think you're in the second point, don't feel bad, you only need to prepare more. Cause the fact that you're up to this point reading all the nonsense I have written is because you're interested in your career and your future. Now you know how all the interview process works like and what they asked you, so prepare yourself, practice, and of course continue learning a lot more.
I only have left to say to you, Good luck, I know you can do it. And I hope to see you soon at one of this companies.
If you want to talk more, you can contact me on my LinkedIn; also you can leave a comment in here, and I will try to answer as soon as I know about the comment. Also, there is my webpage, it is my virtual resume and some other stuff.
Soon
If you want to be here, help me completing/correcting this list in the comments you can write if you know about other company I didn't write about, or maybe correct something. Or you can also fork the gist and tell me when you are done with the changes to look at them and merge them in here.

Why do I create a section apart? Is because video games are the dream of a lot, but if you do some research (as I'm doing at the moment of creating this) is very difficult to find some real sites or offers for internship position out there. I would write in here anything new I see, but what I recommend you is to try these ones and send your resume to all the ones that you will love to be in, you don't lose trying (You can read all over internet cases of people that got internships that way).
Also if you want to win some experience what you can do is work in startups or small companies. Usually, those companies are always looking for new people and new ideas. If you want to know the video game companies around the world click here.
