Version 136: The young applicant who sought guidance on internship interviews ended up securing a contract.

Exciting News: I Secured My First Internship in Cybersecurity!

I am thrilled to share some incredible news! After seeking guidance on internship interview strategies within the r/cybersecurity community, I am pleased to announce that I have landed my first contract.

Thanks to the invaluable advice from many wonderful individuals on the subreddit, I am all set to begin this exciting journey. Once my summer break starts in approximately three weeks, I will be signing my Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) and the internship contract. I’ll be collaborating on a web application project alongside another intern focused on quality assurance.

This internship is slated to span three months, and there’s the possibility of a part-time position afterward, contingent on proving my skills. I’m looking forward to growing in this role and making the most of this opportunity.

I want to extend my heartfelt gratitude to everyone who took the time to respond to my initial post. Your support means a lot to me!

EDIT: I appreciate all the kind words and congratulations! The awards and encouragement have truly made my day. Thank you, everyone! ❤️

Stay tuned for updates on my internship experience!
