Hi, it's been about 6 weeks since I was put into the host-matching pool and I haven't ended up getting contacted by any host yet. I have also been changing the answers to my questionnaire quite a bit but to no avail. Does anyone have any tips on how to get matched or at least noticed by a potential host?
make a post on blind asking about intern hosts (half-serious) questionnaire: if you really want to get matched, uncheck ml / hot areas, check areas that you are less willing to work in
I’ve heard it is hard to get matched in the fall unless you are returning intern. There are fewer projects compared to summer. I wasn’t able to match when I tried. Also, I’ve heard that listing ML in your questionnaire is viewed negatively unless you really have good experience (like being a grad student and having publications in good conferences).
Were able to find a host?
Maybe ask the recruiter??
Recruiters can’t really say anything, it’s all up to hosts at this point.
Yeah I have tried that, my recruiter pretty much said what qweewq said (no requests from hosts).
