Tips from someone who uses it regularly — and gets results!

Internshala is a powerful platform if you’re a student, fresher, or someone pivoting into a new field. And as someone who actively looks for internships here, let me tell you—it works if you use it smartly. Here’s how:

—

✅ 1. Keep Your Profile and CV Updated

Make sure your Internshala profile reflects your latest experience, skills, certifications, and projects. A well-updated resume improves your chances of getting shortlisted.

—

⏳ 2. Be an Early Applicant

Use the “Early Applicant” filter while applying. Companies often shortlist from the first few applicants. Being early = being noticed.

—

🎯 3. Choose Your Niche (and Near-Niches) Wisely

Pick your main interest area (like Digital Marketing, UI/UX, Web Dev), and also apply to similar roles. Example: If you’re into content writing, also check out roles tagged as blogging, creative writing, SEO content, etc.
This expands your exposure—without diluting your focus.

—

📍 4. Be Smart with Location Filters

If you’re open to relocation, use Work from Office (WFO) with metro cities. If not, Work from Home (WFH) offers flexibility. Filter based on what suits your schedule and availability.

—

📝 5. Customize Your Application

That “Why should we hire you?” field matters. Don’t copy-paste—be specific, relevant, and confident. Mention your interest in the role and how your skills fit.

—

📚 6. Build Skills While You Wait

Not getting enough calls? Use Internshala Trainings or YouTube resources to build in-demand skills. Sometimes one small certification can boost your credibility.

—

🔁 7. Be Consistent

Don’t apply to 50 jobs in one day and ghost the platform. Apply for 4-5 roles daily, track responses, and tweak your approach based on feedback.

—

✨ Final Thought

Landing an internship is part strategy, part consistency. Internshala works—but only if you do. Tailor your efforts, apply early, and stay prepared.

Wishing you the best of opportunities. You’ve got this!
