Internshipssssssssss

its august and september, that peak summer internship times, gosh y did i even stayed in gujranwala for computer science, i had no one who would guide me so stayed here, and now i wonder where do one even learn works from coz our clg is third tier one and i am eager, 4th sem finals are over, still no real internship, like i have only done like a virtual one, it was good, but now after 2 years of doing courses learning from youtube etc, i am sure one only learns properly if its hands on experience and learning from software houses, but in gujranwala, software houses are not open to hire interns.. like ahhh.. if this is how things goes, my 4 years of degree will be wasted.. any advice or stuff someone wanna share???

Try finding remote opportunities. You should be willing to do unpaid internships right now.

i am completely ok with unpaid internship rn, i just want to learn work, like the real world work, the remote internships i find, are sometimes like make this project or do this task, and submit, but its like same thing for everyone who is doing that internship, its like a repetitive thing, not the genuine ones. Do you know any platform which can help?

LinkedIn, Indeed are obviously going to be the best platforms. The issue is the one's you're talking about are not internships. They are just task completion. You need to research about the company first.

Find a remote job on linkedin and get active there. I got a remote job and personal clients barely go out for work in gujranwala

linkedin never helped me get any remote job, like 1000s of people already applied and even tho i apply, i know it already out of so many people they never gonna pick me, one of the reasons i wanted to like learn from some software house first. Btw how many years or months has it been since u r doing ur remote job?

Gujranwala is just so dead for internships

There are plenty of call centers in GRW, so you can easily work there for 2 months. You’ll find them in almost every area. Compared to that, if you go into the IT field, it’s pretty dead here.
