How can I get into an UI UX internship?
Hi, Few months back, I've Posted this "I'm UI UX Design fresher. Struggling to get an internship." and lots of people commented on it thank you, I really appreciate for that and I couldn't able to reply to everyone. As a fresher, I'm still looking for an opportunity to get in to the industry with a mentor to improve my skills. Because I couldn't able to learn during my Master's. And my graduation which was not easy I struggled a lot and it was supposed to get on the year 2023 and I got it on this year Feb 2025. The graduation was mentioning 2023. Now it got created a gap. Actually they holded my certificate for no reason and there were lots of issue for me personally I was not getting right education so I was the one to stand against them to get right education and the whole department made a drama to protect themself to show they are providing education and finally I didn't get proper education, they delayed my degree. I can't go for another education because my family financially is very weak. Everyday I wake up by hearing advice and scolding from my parents. Each day is a worst day for around last two years and Its very hard to step outside my home because the culture according to my place is like the people talks behind me and it hurts when people ask - didn't you find job yet. and they will hurt my family only for one reason I'm jobless. and my problem is i'm not happy sitting at home. everyone will be jocking about me and giving advices they thinking I intentionally sitting at home in my dad's expense. And family is depending on dad's income that too not monthly fixed salary, its a daily wages. I was keep trying for more than two years. I have updated my resume and portfolio and applied for thousands of job related to UI/UX freshers, internship, Junior position. but I don't know why there is I only see "Rejected" I didn't even get a callback and I tried lots of platforms then later I posted on here. Someone commented by suggesting taproot. So I tried working on a volunteer based without any guidance that means stepping into the live project for the first time and now I completed designing the project which is a single donation page for a website. And I handed over the design to the development person it's now developing. This project I can showcase as an experience. According to me, I'm from a village. People in my locality doesn't know about designing field they say don't do anything for free. Every work has a value. But I can't make everyone realize that I'm not getting an internship in UI/UX, Because I don't have any contacts to refer me. For a job or an internship they need an experience. and for experience I need a Job or live project work so to break this loop I should do It for free that without any guidance. Thank you for the support. *Note: question edited by admin to remove personal information and adhere to guidelines
How far am I to get a software developer/DevOpt internship or job?
I am currently a master student studying IT in Australia, I switched my career from Retail to IT just because I can see myself with curiosity to know and learn coding. During the study, I set a goal to be a software engineer or a DevOpt engineer. I am now at my second last semester before graduate, I studied Front-end development myself before starting the master, and I kept working on self project to practice the knowledge I've leant in school, like building web application (here is one of them: https://www.freelancer-daily-scheduler.site/) using AWS cloud services. However, I always feel like I still have a lot to learn until I can get an intern/job. Sometime I even saw people spending a long time on Leetcode, and I have a feeling like no matter how much hard work I inputed, I am still far from only passing the job interview, and I am not even sure if I can perform better then other students who studied programming since their bachelor. Really need someone to share advice on this.
VLSI? or AI what in AI?
In a world increasingly powered by microchips, Very Large-Scale Integration (VLSI) is the bedrock of modern electronics. From smartphones and laptops to electric vehicles and AI-driven data centers, VLSI design enables the technology we rely on daily. Many countries in ASIA, like India, offer specialized training that costs a lot. Is the investment worth it? What is the ROI (Return on Investment) of VLSI training in today’s competitive market? Having done a bachelor's in information technology (IT) and specialized skill training in the US but I lack enough experience in IT, and this project-based teaching appeals to me. Despite all this training, I am jobless. I lean toward these on-the-job cohorts from LinkedIn, which costs a lot, and wonder if it's worth it? All offer placement guarantees, mock interviews, and show income projections too good to be true. The same goes for data analytics or cybersecurity. I am having difficulty understanding what to do and how best to approach it. Should I be more focused on AI or be specialized in other than AI things. any guidance is sincerely appreciated

Hi everyone, I’ve been studying cybersecurity for the past 9+ months and actively applying to internships and entry-level roles, with over 500 applications and 250+ LinkedIn connections so far. A few connections helped with referrals, but my resume still gets rejected. Last month, I felt devastated and started doubting myself.

I’ve optimized my resume for ATS, participated in CTFs, and improved my LinkedIn, but I’m still struggling to land interviews. Can someone please guide me? What is the right approach to land my first cybersecurity internship/job? What specific skills or certifications helped you get your first break? How do I know if I’m "job-ready"? Should I focus on one company or keep applying everywhere? Any tips, encouragement, or actionable steps would mean the world. 🙏 Thank you!

How do I start my career in technology?
I graduated with a bachelors in information technology of August 2024. For a couple of years I’ve been struggling to look for jobs in general, especially since I started my degree. I have done everything that I could imagine. I’ve been to a couple of career fairs, I have tailored and revised my résumé several times, I’ve tried to talk with hiring managers and even tried to prepare for interviews with no luck. I think I have applied to over 1000 applications over the past couple of years. Since 2023, I’ve had two unpaid fraudulent internships, I’ve had a few interviews, but they never made it to the second or third round and jobs either ghost me or end up being ghost jobs. At this point, I don’t know what else I can do. If anyone has any advice or can offer any jobs that would suit me, I would appreciate that. I’m looking for jobs that are mostly entry-level.
