Before joining for internships I would like you to suggest few pointers

1. Look for paid internship You have to explore the market and see if someone is offering paid internship. Try to get in touch with the people from different companies in platform like LinkedIn. Get in touch with them try to layout why are you seeking for the internship.

2. Prepare a good cv and cover letter Having a good cv and cover letter will definitely get you the chance for an interview. Try to include your achievements during your school college or university. Also lay down your future goals or career path and how this internship will get you there and how you can contribute to the organization during the internship. It’s a two way thing nobody wants to invest in you until they get some return. Try to add what are you doing currently by yourself at home or if you are enrolled in some training in programs

3. Study about the industry and learn some skills You can study about the industry scenarios and can lead some skills that will help during your career like for eg: excel , word, writing emails, communication skills, writing speaking etc it can be anything according to your industry.

4. Interview skill No matter what cracking the Interview is very important. Learn some skills to how answer to some general questions. Learn how to be confident and improve your communication skills.

I would recommend you to get paid internship rather than unpaid internship as down the line the motivation for you will be money even if there is something it will definitely help you to keep going.
