At 78, here’s a fresh take: “The young applicant who sought internship interview tips ended up securing the offer.”

Exciting News: Landing My First Internship in Cybersecurity!

I’m thrilled to share some fantastic news with the community! Thanks to the invaluable guidance I received from the r/cybersecurity subreddit, I’ve officially secured my first internship contract!

In just a few weeks, as I embark on my summer break, I’ll be signing my internship and non-disclosure agreements. I’ll be diving into a web application project alongside a fellow intern focusing on quality assurance (QA) over the next three months.

This internship is not just a stepping stone; it could also lead to a part-time position with compensation if I demonstrate strong skills and commitment during my time there.

I can’t thank everyone enough for their encouraging words and helpful advice on my journey to securing this role. Your support truly made a difference! 💖

Edit: A big shoutout to everyone who took the time to congratulate me and send kind messages—your encouragement means the world! And the awards? A delightful surprise! Thank you! 💕

Stay tuned for updates on my internship experience!
