Answered By Mentor Madhav Bhatia
Hi Pawan,
For securing an internship, you should be proficient in topics such as DSA, OOPS, DBMS, OS, System Design, etc. which are usually asked in tech interviews.
If you feel you've mastered the above skills, then you can proceed with the following:
- Resume Building: Create a well-structured resume, highlighting skills, projects, internships, and achievements that pass Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS).
- Job Search: Apply directly on desired company's career websites and explore opportunities on platforms like LinkedIn, Glassdoor, AngelList, Cuvette, etc.
- Networking and Referrals: Grow your professional network by connecting with industry professionals and seeking referrals for internships.
- Interview Preparation: Practice common interview questions, behavioural interviews, and technical problem-solving to prepare for internship interviews. Give mock interviews regularly to further boost your confidence.
- Stay Updated and Persistent: Be persistent in your efforts and follow up on applications, interviews, and networking connections to maximise your internship opportunities.
- Mentorship: Seek a mentor who can provide guidance, share experiences, and offer insights to navigate through your journey effectively.
