How to get an internship?
Many college students are looking for an internship since their college is either paused or not much to do.
The obvious way is to apply using sites like Internshala but I don’t know how good it is these days.
However, you can do the following.
Create a portfolio of your work. Then find companies with job openings on AngelList.
Why AngelList?
Because AngelList has startups. And startups are more flexible when it comes to internship policies.
They don’t require formalities that big companies like Amazon and Google may require.
Once you find companies you like and that are hiring on your skills, message their founders directly either on AngelList or via other platforms like LinkedIn or Twitter.
These startups are small so founders don’t mind if someone contacts them directly.
If your portfolio was good and they have some work for you, they may proceed with an interview.
Go through their process and you will get an internship.
