Student Internship Opportunities

It is one of those memories you will remember for years. In today’s world, the path to a full-time opportunity for most graduates has changed: Internship → Full-time offer. That’s why internships are more crucial than ever. 𝐈𝐟 𝐈 𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐠𝐨 𝐛𝐚𝐜𝐤, 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐬𝐞 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝟕 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬 𝐈’𝐝 𝐝𝐨 𝐝𝐢𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐥𝐲 𝐭𝐨 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐭 𝐦𝐲 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩 𝐢𝐧 𝐩𝐩𝐨. ➡️Take ownership, not just instructions. Don’t wait for someone to assign you work. Ask what the team needs, identify gaps, and take initiative to solve real problems. ➡️ Keep a record of your work and impact. Document what you did, the value it created, and the results it achieved. When it’s time for reviews, this will speak louder than words. ➡️ Understand the business, not just your tasks. Learn how your work fits into the bigger picture, the product, the customers, the company goals. It shows maturity and vision. ➡️Communicate early and often. Keep your manager and team in the loop about your progress and challenges. They should never have to follow up to know where things stand. ➡️ Ask for feedback and act on it. Actively seek input and show you can improve quickly. That’s what managers want to see in future hires. ➡️ Help beyond your job description. Step up to help teammates or take on tasks nobody wants. Teams value people who make everyone’s lives easier. ➡️Stay in touch with dsa: Don’t lose touch with DSA during your internship.Because when the internship ends, there’s usually a final interview— and that’s where they grill you with DSA questions. Don’t stress too much about the offer, focus on doing the right things. The ones who step up, take ownership, and create real impact, they are the ones who get remembered. #Internship #Microsoft #FullTimeOffer #CareerGrowth #Growthmindset #PPO #Worktips #Walmart

No one prepares you for this part of summer internship… They tell you how to impress your manager, how to get a PPO, and how to network hard. But no one tells you how it feels when you’re sitting in a corner of a fancy office, trying to understand a spreadsheet you don’t fully get. While your manager is too busy to guide you, and your friends from other companies are flexing their progress on LinkedIn. Let’s talk about that part of the internship. The part where you begin to doubt yourself. The part where you’re not sure if you’re learning anything. The part where “log in at 10 and log off at 7” becomes your only routine, and imposter syndrome quietly creeps in. Here’s the raw truth I learned last year — Every intern feels this. Even the “sorted” ones. So what do you do? 1. Accept the slow days: Not every day will be a banger. Some days, you’ll just wait for replies. Don’t panic. Be patient, but don’t sit idle just learn something, Google something, talk to someone. Make the waiting count. 2. Stop the LinkedIn comparison spiral: That guy posting about a “great mentor” and “three projects”? Social media is a highlight reel. Focus on your own edit. 3. Be your own Project Manager: Don’t wait for your manager to handhold. Break your project into smaller chunks. Set self-deadlines. Run your own standups in front of the mirror if you have to. It sounds silly, but it works. 4. Capture EVERYTHING: Keep a doc of everything you’re learning - new terms, tools, insights, mistakes, people you spoke to. When your review comes, that doc will be your superpower. 5. Remember this: You’re here to learn, not prove The real ROI of a summer internship isn’t the PPO. It’s the stories. The lessons. The self-awareness. That’s what makes you dangerous in the final placement season. So if your internship right now feels confusing, exhausting, or underwhelming: You’re not behind. You’re right on track. Just don’t stop showing up! This phase is messy, but trust me - this is where the growth hides:) #MBAlife #SummerInternship #RealTalk #CorporateInternship #BschoolDiaries #LinkedInforCreators #PlacementReady

Our best interns have always done this unexpected thing: They ask A TON of questions up front. They don’t pretend to understand the task. They don’t nod their way through the kickoff meeting. They dig in early, clarify every detail, and make sure nothing is lost in translation. Yes, it’s annoying for me. It's annoying for us. It can take 30 minutes to explain a very simple request. But the outcome is worth it. Once they’re clear on the goal, they go deep. They read articles, test hypotheses, and break their code repeatedly. The worst interns? The "yes, I got it" crew. Hint: They don't got it. They spend hours going in circles, asking scattered questions, and making slow progress. They disrupt the team making everyone lose focus on their tasks as they are hammered with questions repeatedly for a week. As a manager, I’d rather answer 15 questions in the first 30 minutes than have someone interrupt my team repeatedly for a week straight. If you’re starting an internship, do this: - Get 100% clarity on the task. Take notes. - Do not leave your manager’s desk until you truly understand the assignment, even if it makes you feel stupid. - Get to work. - If you get stuck or have more questions, do not ask immediately. Be patient. Build a list and get them answered all at once. No one expects you to know everything. We don’t know everything. But showing that you know how to learn and work effectively is invaluable. #internships

I applied to 150 internships as a freshman. From the first 75 of those 150 applications, I landed 2 first-round interviews and 0 offers. From the second 75 of those 150 applications, I landed 8 first-round interviews and 3 offers. So what changed? My resume. In one of those two initial, first-round interviews, the recruiter took an extra 5-10 minutes to give me some hard-to-swallow but incredible constructive feedback on my resume. It was a really tough moment because I realized I needed to overhaul and completely redo this resume I had spent so much time on. But it was a pivotal moment since this was just what I needed to turn my job hunt around. After implementing this feedback, I went from landing two interviews to landing eight interviews, six of which were with Fortune 500 companies. Here is the EXACT feedback I received from my recruiter: ➡️ Don't just "say" your skills; demonstrate your skills through work experiences and projects. ➡️ Academic honors/awards aren't in scope for a resume when applying for an internship. ➡️ Hiring managers want to see that you have REAL-world experience. ➡️ Your project portfolio can make you a more competitive applicant. ➡️ Quantifying the impact you've made adds credibility & legitimacy to what you've done. And here are some other tips, tricks, and resume hacks I picked up along the journey of my first job hunt: 🎯 If you don't have work or internship experience, leverage "relevant" experience. 🎯 Don't reinvent the wheel/start from scratch; utilize resources to create and improve your resume bullet points. 🎯 You don't have to start from a blank space; try templates & examples! ↪️ Steal THE resume that got me into Disney 👀 + my resume kit with editable templates: https://lnkd.in/g2mYVDaV #internships #internship #summerinternship #earlycareers #resumetips

Google 𝗦𝗪𝗘 𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗻𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽 𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗶𝗲𝘄 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀 After my recent post about securing an internship at Google, I’ve received numerous messages asking about the interview process. Here’s a walkthrough of my experience. 𝟭. 𝗔𝗽𝗽𝗹𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 & 𝗢𝗻𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗲 𝗔𝘀𝘀𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 I applied through the Google Careers page and, after some time, received an invite for the Online Assessment (OA). The OA consisted of two Data Structures & Algorithms (DSA) problems. I was able to solve both questions and within a few days, I received an invitation for technical interviews. 𝟮. 𝗧𝗲𝗰𝗵𝗻𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗶𝗲𝘄𝘀 I had two 45-minute technical interviews on the same day, each focused on solving DSA problems. Each interview began with a core problem, followed by several follow-up questions that required optimizing the solution, handling edge cases, and discussing additional constraints. My interviewers were particularly interested in the trade-offs between different approaches and wanted to see how I reasoned through choosing the best one. Key Takeaways from the Technical Interviews: 🔹Think out loud and communicate clearly. Interviewers want to understand your reasoning, so verbalizing your thought process is essential. 🔹Ask a lot of clarifying questions before diving into the solution. This ensures a complete understanding of the problem statement. 🔹Have a strong understanding of time and space complexity. Knowing why one approach is better than another is helpful. 🔹Be prepared to explain trade-offs between different solutions. Interviewers value the ability to compare and justify approaches. After successfully clearing the technical rounds, I moved on to the Host Matching Phase. 𝟯. 𝗛𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝗠𝗮𝘁𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 (𝗧𝗲𝗮𝗺 𝗠𝗮𝘁𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴) Unlike other companies, Google allows interns to match with a host and project before receiving an offer. Here’s how it works: Across EMEA (Europe, Middle East, and Africa), potential hosts review profiles of candidates who cleared technical interviews. If a host is interested, they reach out to schedule an interview. I was contacted by a host from the Google Ads Machine Learning SRE team in Dublin. The host matching interview was conversational and started with the host explaining the project in detail. We then discussed my background, current education, some ML concepts, and previous work experience. Once my host and I confirmed that we were both happy with the match, the host matching process was successfully completed. Note: Passing the technical interviews does not guarantee a match. The availability of hosts and project alignment also play a role in the final selection. 𝟰. 𝗢𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗿 𝗟𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿  A few days later, I received my offer letter to join Google as a Software Engineering (Site Reliability) Intern. 🤩 🥳 Hope this overview helps everyone preparing for the process! Wishing everyone the best! 🙌 #Google #GoogleIntern #Internship #Noogler

“How were you able to get internships at Jindal, HDFC Bank and CRISIL in your 2nd year?” asked my college mate back in 2019. This was when I was pursuing my BCom Hons from University of Delhi. So let me tell you some lesser known ways to get an internship in college - 💡Identify Emerging or less-known Companies → Instead of targeting big brands, look for startups, early-stage companies, or niche firms. They’re more flexible with hiring interns. → Search on AngelList, LinkedIn, and Twitter for companies that recently got funding—they need fresh talent. 💡Use Twitter & LinkedIn Strategically → Follow industry leaders, founders, and hiring managers in your field. → Engage with their content for a few weeks before reaching out. → Comment on their posts with insights to get noticed. 💡Build a Small But Powerful Portfolio → Instead of waiting for an internship to gain experience, create small projects. Marketing? Grow a meme page and show engagement stats. Finance? Analyse stocks and post insights. Coding? Contribute to open-source projects. Design? Redesign existing brand logos and showcase them. 💡Leverage Cold DMs Instead of Just Cold Emails → Most people send boring emails. Instead, try Twitter, LinkedIn, or even Instagram DMs. → Keep it short: “Hey [Name], I love what your company is building. I noticed [something specific about their work]. I’d love to contribute. Here’s a small project I did that aligns with your company’s goals. Let me know if I can help!” 💡 Reverse Apply by Posting About Your Work → Instead of chasing internships, attract them. Post content on LinkedIn/Twitter showcasing your skills. Hiring managers will notice and reach out. → Example: "I analysed 10 fast-growing D2C brands, and here’s what I found about their marketing strategies." (Marketing aspirant) "I built a stock screener that predicts undervalued companies." (Finance aspirant) If you’re struggling to land an internship, try these and tell me how it goes!🚀 #intern #interns #internships #career

If you are currently on an internship or about to wrap one up, this is for you. Internships and co-ops shape more than your résumé; they shape how you think, work, and build relationships that last a lifetime.  Here are a few lessons that shaped my journey and could help you, too: 🔹 𝐅𝐨𝐜𝐮𝐬 𝐨𝐧 𝐕𝐚𝐥𝐮𝐞 𝐂𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 Every organization values those who create impact. Don’t just complete tasks. Look for problems to solve, no matter how small. During one of my past co-op roles, I worked on a project where our brainstormed ideas helped save billions in future projected costs. That came from paying attention, contributing, and working with a multidisciplinary team with 10,000+ years of combined experience across local and global projects. 🔹 𝐔𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐚𝐧𝐲 𝐃𝐞𝐞𝐩𝐥𝐲 Study the values, culture, and policies of your workplace. The more you understand what drives the organization, the easier it becomes to align your contribution with real impact. 🔹 𝐍𝐞𝐭𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤 𝐀𝐠𝐠𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐲 & 𝐈𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 Some of the most important doors in my career were opened by relationships I built during internships. Your next mentor, advisor, or sponsor may not come through a qualification, but through a genuine connection. Up till today, I still get calls from my past supervisors I once worked with, to consult on problems I helped solve as an intern. 🔹 𝐁𝐞 𝐁𝐨𝐥𝐝 & 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐎𝐮𝐭 Confidence is noticed. Share your ideas, volunteer for challenges, and leave a footprint of contribution. What people remember is the impact you created, not the hours you spent. 🔹 𝐒𝐞𝐞𝐤 𝐌𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩 𝐁𝐞𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐋𝐞𝐚𝐯𝐞 Before your internship ends, have deliberate conversations with your manager, supervisor, or team lead. Ask for feedback on your performance, seek mentorship opportunities, and request recommendation letters. These will serve as bridges for the next phase of your career. Here are a few sample questions you can ask: 💡 What did I do well? 💡 What could I have done differently? 💡 Would you be open to mentoring me beyond this role? 💡 Could I request a recommendation letter for future opportunities? These conversations are priceless; they provide clarity, open doors, and create connections that last far beyond the internship. At the end of the day, one truth remains: you cannot rush or substitute experience. Every day on the job is shaping the professional you are becoming. So to every intern reading this: be intentional, be courageous, and leave your footprint. 👉 Who’s the one intern in your circle that needs this reminder today? Share this with them.

Happy internship recruiting season! As someone who has spent quite a few years in recruiting internship-level students, I wanted to share a few key things I've looked for on a resume before sharing with a hiring team: 🎓 Education: I look to confirm you're enrolled in school, and what your graduation year is. You'll get a lot of recruiters who say you don't need the grad year, but for an internship, this helps us gauge your level of coursework. Some roles are more junior, but others need you to have progressed into your third year of study. If you're a senior or a recent grad, you're probably a better fit for a new-grad role, not an internship. We want the right fit for YOU! ⭐ Extra curriculars: Classwork is important but being involved outside of that can show how someone handles multiple priorities. This can be roles in student organizations, part-time jobs, TA/RA/GA roles...we want to see what you do with your free time! I will never expect someone to be a member of 6 clubs, but I want to see how you spend your time. 🚧 Projects: If you're a tech major-computer science, design, etc, being able to talk about your projects and how you utilized the tools to get to your end result is so important. Don't tell me what you did, but how you did it and why it mattered. Recruiters don't spend a lot of time looking at a resume upon first glance with the volume of internship applications they receive, 6-10 seconds, so having clear delineation between your sections helps us find those key points to spend the extra time reviewing. We'd love to spend more time on reviewing and give every person a chance but often don't have that luxury. Help us help you! #resumes #internships #students #jobsearch #fallrecruiting

Recently, an Intern Solved a problem at ForeignAdmits and saved us at least $20,000🚨 Not through formal idea reviews. Not through scheduled meetings. But through our daily random 15-mins feedback sessions. That one suggestion saved us months of effort and fast tracked our business efforts. This is why I'm obsessed with feedback loops and collaborative working with a sense of FLAT hierarchy. Here's what we've learned 👇 At ForeignAdmits, we started with just 2 people. Now we're 20+. But one thing hasn't changed: Everyone speaks up. Every day. Not only on yearly reviews. Not only during quarterly check-ins. Real-time, no-filter feedback, no-conservativeness in idea sharing. The results? • Interns build and ship better products and faster than many Full-time Folks of other companies • Product iterations happen in days, not months • Team retention is 2x industry average • Innovation happens morr frequently in natural ways with frugality and speed But here's the secret: Feedback only works when it's a habit, not an event. We don't wait for standup meetings. We don't schedule "feedback sessions." See something? Say something. Right now. That's how our best features were born. That's how we caught our worst mistakes. That's how junior members become leaders. The math is simple: Daily feedback = Weekly improvements Weekly improvements = Monthly breakthroughs Whether you're 2 people or 200, Culture isn't what you plan. It's what you practice daily. What's your team's feedback rhythm? Are you waiting for formal reviews while golden insights slip away? Let me know 👇 PS - This is my entire Tech (Dev) Team with one key missing member. Can you spot who is Intern and who is Senior Dev. here?

Picture a society where one's #talent, and not #education, #age, #race etc., determines one's level of success. Where individual perspectives are valued and not silenced. Blind auditions on "The Voice" are nothing short of this. As leaders and institutions who value diversity and inclusion, what lessons can we draw from this musical contest? ✅The judges on "The Voice" come from many walks of music and offer their special brand of advice to the contestants. Similarly, it's important to build a diverse hiring team that represents the diversity you aim to achieve in your staff. To get a whole picture of a candidate's qualifications, it's not enough to have interviewers from a variety of backgrounds; you need to deliberately seek them out. ✅True inclusion necessitates doing more than just removing names from resumes. To ensure fairness, employ skills-based evaluations, unconscious bias training, and structured interviews. Keep in mind that diversity isn't just about numbers; it's also about celebrating and fostering the unique qualities that people bring to the table, no matter where they come from. ✅The candidates are not pushed into predetermined categories by the coaches. They take pride in and work to develop their voices. Recognize the value of different points of view and encourage your team members to do the same as leaders. Encourage participation from all members and work to make everyone's opinion matter. #diversityandinclusion #recruiting #workplaceculture #thevoice #leadership
