Asking for internship interview tips turned into landing the contract—here’s my story.

Exciting News: I Landed My First Internship!

I’m thrilled to share some fantastic news with you all—thanks to the invaluable advice from the wonderful community at r/cybersecurity, I have secured my first internship contract!

I’m set to begin this new chapter as soon as my summer break kicks off in about three weeks. I’ll be signing an NDA along with my internship agreement shortly after, and I can’t wait to dive into a web application project alongside a QA intern.

The internship is scheduled to last for three months, and if I prove my skills and make a positive impression, there’s a potential for a part-time paid position afterwards.

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who took the time to offer their insights and encouragement on my previous post—you’ve all made a significant impact on my journey, and I appreciate you!

Update: I am overwhelmed by the kind congratulatory messages and awards from the community—thank you for your support! 💖

Stay tuned for more updates as I embark on this exciting opportunity!
