Applying for a tech internship can be an exciting opportunity to gain valuable experience and jumpstart your career. However, with so many candidates vying for limited positions, it's important to stand out from the crowd and make a positive impression on potential employers. Here are some dos and don'ts to keep in mind when applying for a tech internship.

Do:

1. Research the company and its culture. Understanding the values and mission of the company can help you tailor your application to better fit their needs and expectations.

2. Tailor your resume and cover letter to the specific internship you are applying for. Highlight relevant skills and experiences that align with the job description.

3. Highlight your soft skills, such as teamwork, communication, and problem-solving abilities. These skills are highly valued in the tech industry and can help you stand out from other applicants.

4. Show your passion and enthusiasm for the industry and the company. Employers want to see that you are genuinely interested in the work they do and that you are excited to learn and grow.

5. Follow up on your application. Sending a thank-you email or a follow-up message after submitting your application can show your dedication and interest in the position.

Don't:

1. Submit a generic resume or cover letter. Each application should be tailored to the specific internship you are applying for.

2. Use industry jargon or technical terms that may not be understood by those outside of the field. Keep your language clear and concise.

3. Lie or exaggerate your skills or experiences. Employers will likely ask for examples and evidence to support your claims, so it's best to be honest and transparent.

4. Apply for positions that are clearly outside of your skill set or interests. It's important to focus on positions that align with your career goals and passions.

5. Neglect to proofread your application materials. Spelling and grammatical errors can make a negative impression on potential employers and may hurt your chances of being considered for the position.

By keeping these dos and don'ts in mind, you can increase your chances of landing a tech internship and gaining valuable experience in the industry. Good luck with your job search!

Tech internship comes with great advantage.

Employers seek for both hard and soft talents in candidates when employing new staff members. During your tech internship, both can be developed.

In my opinion, internships are a corporate scam. They're like NYSC; an attempt to get cheap labour.

I didn't do any silly internships anywhere and today I can boast of over five years of experience in my industry. Whereas if I did internship, those one or two years of internship won't be added to my years of experience.

Instead of seeking internships why not seek entry-level jobs/projects to boost your profile? When you intern, you're working as a junior developer but will be treated as a trainee. That's unfair.

Why not spend more time to improve your skills, study, work on personal or freelance projects and build a strong portfolio?

After all, the chance of being retained after internship is as slim as the chance of corper being retained (no matter how many HODs and LGIs she slept with).

Reasonable comments please..

If you don't lie or exaggerate your skills, chance of being invited is very slim
