Hello, I am interested in applying for a software engineering position at Lockheed Martin. My situation is a little different. I currently work full time supporting my family and am completing my Degree in Computer Science this Fall. When is a good time to start applying? Due to my situation with work and being the sole provider how can I overcome or explain my lack of internships due to personal responsibilities? I have a 3.94 GPA if that helps. Thanks

Now is the best time to start applying, and a cover letter explaining your situation.

If you don’t have a lot of experience for your resume, list your college classes that are relevant to the position. Also make sure to list any skills that may be desired, like certain programming languages, any software tools used during software development like IDEs or software code management. During your interview, make sure you discuss any projects you’ve worked on for you classes that explain your software engineering experience

Start applying ASAP, employers expect that when hiring undergrad students that they won’t start until summer/fall. Sounds like you have employment history if you work full time along with taking classes which is much more difficult than most students experience throughout college. Employers are more concerned about you not utilizing your time than specific internship experience. I don’t recommend cover letters, I’ve heard from a couple recruiters that they don’t read them. Make sure to highlight during interviews relevant classes and specific projects that demonstrate the skills needed for the job. Having a 3.9 GPA will demonstrate your competency and that you are a hard worker. Best of luck!

I was reached out on LinkedIn by a design manager for a get-to-know call. I have never done a screening call with a design manager before. I haven’t sent her my resume— She didn’t ask, and I completely forgot.
My resume has my portfolio website and a password, but I kinda want to chat with her before sharing my work, so she can see how passionate I am and I am willing to learn before she sees my work. Is it okay if I don’t share my resume before the screening call? Or omit link to my website?
