Exciting News: My First Internship Contract!

I’m thrilled to share some fantastic news with my blog readers! After seeking advice from the supportive community over at r/cybersecurity, I am ecstatic to announce that I have secured my first internship contract!

In just about three weeks, I’ll be signing the NDA and internship agreement as summer break kicks off. I’ve landed a position where I’ll be collaborating on a web application project alongside a QA intern. This opportunity is more than just a stepping stone; it’s a chance to dive into real-world experience in the cybersecurity field.

The internship is set to last for three months, and I’ve been informed that if I demonstrate the necessary skills, I may even be offered a part-time position afterward. The prospect of being able to transition into a paid role is incredibly motivating and adds to my excitement.
