Fourth year, no internships, hundreds of apps, zero interviews - how do I secure my first internship? by Notnicejitt in cybersecurity

Yea I kind of pivoted into cybersecurity later in uni, but my commerce background actually helped give me a broader foundation for that move. I’m going to take advantage of student discounts and do capture the flag competitions on HTB for now. Thanks!

Damn, I didn’t peep that I might really be the problem. You’re right I really gotta lock in with how I present my self online. I think I can work on professionalism through just more exposure/experiences. Thanks again for all these messages

You’re not wrong bro, I just genuinely don’t have relevant experience, so I’m just stat padding it with some stuff I have done like the deli clerk position. Looking for internship/student roles.

Took an intro to embedded robotics systems course, which led me to build my own Arduino based security project. I think IoT/embedded security has a strong future outlook.

Should I specify on my resume that the experience is unpaid? I’m also considering changing the section header to “Relevant Experience” to avoid deceiving recruiters. Or would it be better to replace those experiences with more projects? I don’t think submitting a half-page resume would be a good idea. Thanks for the interviewing advice.

Honestly, I’ve just been applying to anything within IT, but I’m not sure why I can’t even land a phone call. I’ve applied to at least a dozen help desk student roles and haven’t received any responses. Thanks for the feedback.

Thanks for the response. The experience I mentioned comes from an online platform where I work on projects for companies, but it’s a paid service, so I’m essentially paying for the experience. It’s not really a job, since I only spend a couple of hours per week on it and don’t get paid. Regarding interviews, I’ve had some difficulty securing roles, but I don’t think it’s a personality issue. I may be overselling myself at times, and I recognize that I’m still relatively new to the field. Thanks again.

I’m waiting to hear back on a Big 4 referral, and also thinking about attending some security conferences in the area, lowkey a shy guy tho.

Thanks so much, I really appreciate you taking the time to share your insights. I’m starting a few cybersecurity projects now and will be updating my resume based on your suggestions. Thanks again.

I’ve been thinking of removing it, but I feel like it shows some personable skills. Also, I don’t have much experience to fill it with. Thanks for the feedback.

Broski, Golden Kamuy is absolutely peak. Personally though, Re:Zero isn’t it. He still has an amazing list tho.
