Are All Interns Like This? by Naijatask(op): 4:37pm On Feb 06, 2022
Good evening everyone.

So, I was searching for a place to apply for intern using LinkedIn.

I just received a notification from LinkedIn hours ago and I decided to check it out.

The requirements looks more like they were looking for a full stack developer and not just an intern?

Are all companies looking for interns like this?

Just apply. Mostly HR copying and pasting job functions from other jobs.

If you tick at least 50% requirements of the job, you can shoot your shot.

Good luck.

Most times, they take you as long as you are interested in learning those languages and have some decent skill

What went wrong?

There are, but that comes when Interswitch has alot of Projects, and not small Projects, so you can have a dev having multiple big projects, from coding to deployment, but it exposed us to alot, but the workload was sheer massive.

Guess I was way wrong shocked

Lol, I wonder what must have been going through the mind of the recruiter. Imagine listing those many skill sets with no pay.

I didn't even see it. Like I can never ever work for free ever. I rather die of hunger. When leetcode never finish. When personal projects I can profit from never finish. When programming languages, frameworks and tools never finish. I go work for free. If it ever comes to that I rather die.

Wait, one person go fit do all those things? For how much?.

The word that stood out there was "unpaid", and for a year?! huh
Re: Are All Interns Like This? by socialmediaman: 2:01pm On Feb 07, 2022
This looks like a lot, it’s not for complete novices, it’s for those who have learnt the theories with some little experience but not qualified to be trusted with a company’s IT systems. Your application and cover letter should clearly state your strengths and highlight your academic achievements if you don’t have much experience
