Turning Job Search SETBACKS Into COMEBACKS | Jillanne Youssef, Mechanical Engineering Intern @ Tesla

In this episode of The Excited to Share Podcast, host Omar El Malak is joined by Jillanne Youssef, a mechanical design engineering intern at Tesla. Jillanne shares how she set her sights on her dream role early on and the concrete steps she took to actually land it. We also talk about how to build a portfolio that convinces recruiters to hire you, what managers look for when deciding whether to give interns return offers, how to stand out as an engineer in an era where everyone is using AI to get an edge, and how to learn the skills that truly matter on the job (most of which aren’t actually taught in the classroom). WHAT IS THE EXCITED TO SHARE PODCAST? Hey! I'm Omar, a fourth-year computer science student at the University of Toronto, minoring in business and math. On The Excited to Share Podcast, I bring on interns and new grads at top companies to share their tips to get you from the classroom to your first "excited to share..." job announcement. If your dream role or company isn’t here yet, or if you or someone you know would like to be featured, drop me a message on LinkedIn or an email at omarelmalak28@gmail.com. I’ll make it happen.
