Experience:

A chemical engineering student, set to graduate in the summer of 2024, secured an interview for a Process Engineering internship position with TSMC. The interview was with the Hiring Manager. A key question that the manager repeatedly returned to was "why do I specifically want to work in a 'factory setting' rather than just chip design." Other questions were typical, covering previous experiences, academic courses taken, and research conducted. The advice given was to relax and answer questions honestly, especially regarding the motivation for working in a factory environment.
