Does acm recommend contacting students as soon as they are freshmen in college?

acm recommends that you get in touch with it as soon as you are a freshman. Recruitment by major Internet companies is based on ability, not on how high your score is in college, or which famous university you have been admitted to. Winning an award in ACM is a reflection of your ability and can impress the examiner when applying. And if you have never participated in ACM, big companies will not want you at all.

For those who are not guaranteed to get medals, or who have no exposure to programming before college, there are three modes for graduating from the computer department of the university:

1. Continuing further studies, taking postgraduate entrance exams and going abroad, etc. . If you do well in the exam, you can strive for admission, postgraduate entrance examination or scholarship to go abroad;

2. If you like to do practical projects, often intern or work part-time, if you have some practical experience and projects, it will be no problem to find a job. In addition, students in Beijing are very advantageous in this regard. The internships are in first- and second-tier well-known companies, and the internship experience is very valuable.

3. Those who concentrate on ACM questions can only rely on their ability to answer questions. To be precise, an acm medal will not make your interview easier, it just means that you have the foundation and you should be able to pass general interview questions without any pressure. The medal itself may add a little more to your offer.

However, this is a double-edged sword, because an undergraduate + acm medal does not necessarily have a higher stake than a graduate student with no competition experience.
