Here I'll be covering up all sorts of internship opportunities available in India and abroad alike and what you are supposed to do exactly to get into your dream company. This will not only be focused on
chemical engineering streams, but I'll also post management related ones too for people interested in MBA. So follow me for all the updates!
Doing an internship is not only something that helps in making your resume look more good, but is also something that can change or give a direction to your career. It gives you a proper insight as to what actually happens in the industry, what you are good at and where you actually lack professionally and personally. But as you are into grabbing the internship opportunity, here are some preparations you must make before applying. Following these will surely improve your chances of getting selected in a selection based internship.
1. Your formal introduction about your college and year of study.
2. 1-2 lines about your actual career goals.
3. 3 lines about why you want to do this internship, as in, how this internship will help you achieve your career goals.
4. 3 lines on how much you like that company. Go through their website and mention some notable things and praise it.
5. 3 lines on how you are the perfect fit for the internship. Try figuring out the skills required to complete that internship and mention those as your strengths.
6. Close by writing how you look forward to work with them.
I'll put up my cover letter soon to give my readers an idea on how to ace your cover letter.
1. Your name, college name, year of engineering and current semester in 1 sentence.
2. Your duration of internship you wish to apply for (1 line).
3. Mention why the company and the internship excites you in 2-3 lines.
4. Mention why you are fit in 1-2 lines.
5. End by saying how you look forward to joining the company.
And you're done. No other crap. Do not forget to end the email with your name, college name, contact details like you do in a letter. I'll post my email content in future posts, so subscribe me!
So in all, these things are some per-requisites needed to start your journey on grabbing that dream internship of yours. Keep following for updates as I'll be posting opportunities soon!

- Prepare a proper resume. This is extremely important as this is the 1st thing your recruiters will look into. You've got only 30 seconds to impress your employer and hence make sure you go through all sorts of websites on the internet which gives you tips and tricks on developing your resume. Bang on if you draft your resume on LATEX. I'll cover about drafting an amazing resume in my future posts, so keep looking!
- Cover letter: Some companies might ask you for a cover letter. In this you just need to mention why you want to do that particular internship, why you love that company (some corporate ass licking) and in the end what exact skills you have to complete that internship (be straight with this one). Just these 3 simple things, don't extend your letter by writing other crap, because nobody cares. You can make your letter general as people aren't that strict for internships, but always try to draft different letters for applying to different companies.
1. Your formal introduction about your college and year of study.
2. 1-2 lines about your actual career goals.
3. 3 lines about why you want to do this internship, as in, how this internship will help you achieve your career goals.

6. Close by writing how you look forward to work with them.

- Email-content: If you are applying for the internships by sending emails to the HR of your dream company, then you really need a good not-too-big and not-too-short content for the email that you'll be sending.
1. Your name, college name, year of engineering and current semester in 1 sentence.
2. Your duration of internship you wish to apply for (1 line).
3. Mention why the company and the internship excites you in 2-3 lines.
4. Mention why you are fit in 1-2 lines.
5. End by saying how you look forward to joining the company.
And you're done. No other crap. Do not forget to end the email with your name, college name, contact details like you do in a letter. I'll post my email content in future posts, so subscribe me!
