What steps do I need to take to get an international internship?
I am a junior Computer Engineering major. I am currently learning German as a second language and one of my goals is to have a software development internship in Germany. I have been applying for internships and looking for international ones, but I would like to hear if there are any specific steps I should take to increase my chances. #internships #german #second-language #software-development #computer-engineering

Your fluency in German language will enable you to go to Germany as per job requirements.
Focus on Software Engineering before the German language - you will have lot more choices. For instance: You can work for Amazon for $200,000 per year (my son took the job when he graduated 3 years ago) salary which German companies will not come close to it.

Check with your university. They may offer study abroad internships. Depending on which company/field you are interested in, you can also check the company website and search for internship programs. Most offer Fall/Spring/Summer internships.
