Hi Sameea,
According to my experience, to find internships in high tech companies (such as facebook, google, amazon) there are several things to prepare.
- update your resume, you can add details to your resume, such as the projects you've done in your school.
- apply for many companies on line, or get reference from friends who currently working in those companies. Usually you can get 1 phone interview per 5-10 applies.
- Prepare the interviews. by knowing the culture of the company you like, the company's mission.
- Usually High tech company will ask data structure, algorithm question, such as sorting, binary tree, stack, queue, back tracking, dynamic programming related question.
- Be confident.
Best wishes,
Zhongyuan Tang

Hi Sameea F,
it is quite normal to get an internship without prior job experience. There has to be first time:) I did not have any internships before my first full time job after I graduated.
Here are something that you can do:
- Use Linkedin to connect employees in the companies that you want to work. Ask them to refer you.
- Go to career fairs of your school or even go to other schools and talk to those recruiters.
- Prepare your resume well. Put any related course projects to your resume to demonstrate your ability to learn, which is quite important for a software engineer.
- Prepare any kind of interview questions. I highly recommend using hackearth to prepare interviews.
Hope you can successfully get an internship :)
