Exciting Internship News: I Landed My First Contract!
I’m thrilled to share some fantastic news that has been a dream in the making for me! Recently, I reached out to the wonderful community of r/cybersecurity seeking guidance on how to prepare for internship interviews, and thanks to their invaluable advice, I’m now officially on board for my first internship!
In just a few weeks, as summer break kicks off, I’ll be signing the nondisclosure agreement and internship contract. During this internship, I’ll be collaborating on a web application project alongside another intern focused on quality assurance. This opportunity not only marks the start of my career but also presents a chance to learn and grow in a real-world setting.
The internship is set for a duration of three months, and if I can demonstrate my skills effectively, there’s potential for a part-time position afterward. The prospect of continuing on as a paid member of the team is incredibly exciting!
I want to extend a heartfelt thank you to everyone who responded to my initial inquiry with encouragement and advice. Your support means the world to me, and I truly appreciate all the kind messages and congratulations I’ve received.
Here’s to new beginnings and the journey ahead!
UPDATE: Thank you all for the congratulatory messages and for the lovely awards – I’m genuinely touched by your support! 💖

Congratulations on securing your internship and reaching this exciting milestone! It’s great to see young professionals taking proactive steps toward their careers in cybersecurity. To prepare effectively for your internship interview, consider researching common interview questions related to cybersecurity roles, such as topics on network security, cryptography, and incident response. Additionally, reviewing your resume and being prepared to discuss your hands-on experiences or projects can make a positive impression.
Since you’ll be working on a web application project, brushing up on HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and any relevant frameworks or tools associated with web development and testing can be beneficial. If you haven’t already, familiarize yourself with version control systems like Git, as they are commonly used in collaborative projects.
Remember to showcase your enthusiasm and willingness to learn—these qualities often weigh heavily during internships. Best of luck with your upcoming summer, and feel free to reach out if you need further assistance or resources!
