Exciting News: My First Internship in Cybersecurity!

I’m thrilled to announce that I’ve secured my very first internship contract! A few weeks ago, I reached out to the amazing community on r/cybersecurity for advice on how to approach internship interviews, and I’m incredibly grateful for the support I received.

I’ll be diving into this opportunity as soon as my summer break begins in about three weeks. My role will focus on developing a web application alongside a fellow intern in Quality Assurance. This internship is set to last for three months, during which I hope to demonstrate my skills. If I do well, there is a possibility of transitioning into a part-time paid position afterward.

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who took the time to respond to my initial post—you all played a crucial role in this achievement! Your encouragement and insights were invaluable, and I truly appreciate it.

I also want to express my gratitude for all the congratulatory messages and awards—I’m overwhelmed by the kindness of this community. Here’s to the journey ahead! <3

Keep an eye out for updates on my experiences throughout this internship!
