Breaking into the tech sector is notoriously hard — especially if you’re a student or recent graduate. Yet, it’s still possible to get a foot in the door without any relevant experience, thanks to a growing number of tech internships aimed at attracting fresh talent to the industry.

While tech internships may not pay as handsomely as permanent positions, they provide candidates with valuable opportunities to gain hands-on experience, build industry connections, and secure stable employment – with 70% of companies offering interns full-time employment after the program draws to a close.

November is one of the best times of the year to weigh up your options too, as it’s when lots of tech companies start recruiting for their summer cohort. So, to help you set yourself up for the year ahead, we’ve rounded up some of the most exciting tech internships available, from reputable companies like Google and LinkedIn.

While Amazon has recently hit headlines for its unsympathetic return to office (TRO) policy, the company is also renowned for its generous pay packages, and excellent career progression opportunities. Most internships require you to relocate to where the program is based, so its worth baring this in mind before applying.

Search giant Google has some of the best name recognition in the tech industry. The company also is consistently rated high from current employees, likely because of its generous salary options and unique stock program, Google Stock Units (GSUs).

Most interns are able to report to a wide rage of US locations, making its relocation policy a lot less proscriptive than companies like Amazon. Take a look at Google’s job portal for the companies full list of internships.

Unfortunately, today’s job market is extremely competitive, and there’s no exception for aspiring interns.

  • Search in advance – Lots of companies start hiring for summer interns earlier than you may expect. So, to avoid missing deadlines, and not giving yourself enough time to perfect your application, we recommend beginning your search for an internship at least three to six months in advance.
  • Develop your skills – If you think your experience isn’t competitive enough to help you secure the internship you want, you can take relevant courses to make your resume stand out. Platforms like LinkedIn offer free courses too, giving you a way to upskill on the cheap.
  • Perfect your resume – Recruiters only have a couple of seconds to flick through each resume, so you need to make sure yours is capable of making a great first impression. When crafting your resume, we recommend keeping the content concise and tailoring it to each role as much as possible.
  • Don’t rely too heavily on AI – While you may be applying for a tech internship, you can’t let technology do the talking for you. Make sure that your resume and cover letter retain human touches, and are written in a language you’d normally use.

While you don’t want your application to come across as robotic, AI can be a useful way to springboard your resume-building process. Here are some AI resume builders that take care of the tedious work for you.
