How I landed my first few internships, no sugarcoating, honest truth➡️

Internship hunting was tough. I applied everywhere. Naukri, Indeed, career pages… and most of the time? SILENCE. Then, a senior told me about this whatsapp group where you get direct HR contacts from top companies like Microsoft, Google, Amazon, Zomato, Tata etc. I was doubtful. (HRs ghost most of the time anyway 😬) But I tried. Cold-mailed. Followed up. And guess what? STILL NOTHING! Because the fact is that most of the times such groups and communities are used for marketing and not for actually helping candidates. So I got back to job portals and kept on applying for another few months, and FINALLY... Still no response! Then I finally called my uncle who was working in a big Mnc. Got real responses, real conversations, referrals and eventually, an internship! So the honest fact about jobs & internships is, NETWOKING is very important!
