If you’re struggling to find internships,

don’t worry — most people are doing it the wrong way.

Here’s a simple process that actually works 👇

🔍 1. Start with the right platforms

Check these regularly:

* LinkedIn Jobs

https://www.linkedin.com/jobs

* Internshala

https://internshala.com

* Wellfound (for startups)

https://wellfound.com

👉 Spend 20–30 mins daily here

2. Don’t apply randomly

Before applying, ask:

* Do I understand this role?

* Do I have at least basic skills?

Then apply with a short message

✉️ 3. Message founders directly

This works better than normal applying.

Go to LinkedIn → search company → find founder → send:

“Hi, I’m interested in your work.

Would love to contribute as an intern.”

Simple. No long paragraph.

📌 4. Check company websites

Many startups post openings only on their website.

Example:

Go to Google → search

“careers + company name”

👉 Less competition here

📊 5. Stay consistent

* Apply to 2–5 roles daily

* Keep track of where you applied

* Follow up after a few days

💡 Important

You don’t need perfect skills to start.

You need effort + consistency

🎯 Final tip

Don’t depend on one platform.

Don’t wait for the perfect role.

Keep applying, keep learning —

that’s how you actually get internships.
