Now, finally, in this post, I will be sharing the college life experiences during the fourth year of my college life( officially hmm but technically not), but especially for me, it was an amazing experience.
As soon as we make the transitions from the 6th semester to the 7th semester, there are a lot of questions that come into the mind of college students. I will try to re-iterate those questions
How to get an internship?
Now, finally, the placement season begins, so we need to learn aptitude, reasoning and other kinds of stuff.
Whether we should focus on the technologies or learn the basics of computer science subjects such as- Data Structures, Algorithms, Computer Networks, Database, etc.
No, we gonna want to do preparation for higher studies, because few of the friends are interested in this., but literally I want to do it because they are doing?
My answer to the above questions:
Do what you want to do, not what others want you to do.
In other words,
do try to align your goal with your passion always.
Yeah by following this thing, there will be many instances when you will be secluded, but don’t worry as long you’re enjoying what you’re doing.
Now it’s about my fourth-year college life, so I will be sharing only some of the instances (not all):
- Got 2-month remote internship in a cybersecurity startup (May 2018 -June 2018)
- Got 2-month full-time internship in a CERT- impaneled organization (June 2018-July 2018)
- Joined the full-time internship, but left the internship in between because I was selected for the internship @Serverguy{https://serverguy.com/} & Breeze {https://breeze.io/}.
- Internship: 2 months { June-July 2018 }
- Trainee: 4 months { August- December 2018 }
- FTE: 1 month { January 2019 }
Note: If you’re thinking about how I have done the full internship and job while being in college, then, in this case, please feel free to DM me.
Team @ServerGuy @Breeze ( Our trip to Bir Billing )
But this trip was too roller-coaster ride for me, because a 2-hour delay in the journey, may stop me from giving the final semester exam. { 7th-Semester exam}
But special thanks to the Arun sir, Sahil sir, Zeeshan sir, Jaya Ma'am, and other members for all the support and guidance they have provided me during my tenure @Serverguy & @Breeze
While all these things were going well, then I got the opportunity to work in a company completed focussed on cybersecurity. Literally, here I was more responsible to convert all my knowledge that I have learned during the past few months, to implement the things from scratch.
Do's
Start scorching the internet, during the 6th semester itself for the various internships. There are a lot of platforms available for the same example: Linkedin, Hirist, HackerRank, Hackathon, etc.
Be specific about the fields, in which you want to do the internship. Usually, what I have done, I usually make an excel sheet for finding the companies who are working in the domain, then moving ahead I tried to contact the respective members for the internship application.
Try some apps such as meetup, Eventbrite, etc, which help a lot to be a part of like-minded people and provides ample of opportunities.
Don't wait for the last minute for the opportunities to knock on the door, just try to prepare it beforehand.
Don't
Nothing to add in this section, because I think everyone has capabilities to decide what is good or bad for him/her? ( No conflicts please)
Have a nice day !!!
Thanks for spending your precious time reading the post, but do me a favor if possible, if any of my connections do have any stories/experiences to share with their fellow, do share the experiences. It helps a lot for other members to avoid the mistakes that have been already committed by us.
