There's a lot of advice out there about landing internships. Most of it is generic, outdated, or written by people who haven't applied for a job in years.

No theory. Just what actually happened.

You'll hear how they found the roles, what their outreach looked like, how they prepared, and what they think made the difference. We'll cover cold applications, referrals, LinkedIn DMs, timing, and what to do when you hear nothing back. Then we open it up for Q&A so you can ask the specific questions you actually have.

By the end of the session you'll know:

• What a realistic internship search timeline looks like and when to start

• How to reach out to people you don't know without it feeling weird

• What interviewers at smaller companies versus big tech actually care about

• What the panelists wish they had known before they started applying

Whether you're a freshman figuring out where to start or a junior who's been applying without results, this session will give you a clearer picture of what it actually takes.
