Komal: I work for AT&T. Last month I made a summer internship offer to a Computer Science major student from Vanderbilt University. I assume that you are a MS CS student in Sunnyvale, CA - heart of Silicon Valley. I'm sure many tech companies in the area would love to have interns with your skill set. AT&T HR Talent Acquisition Manager shared with me that AT&T Labs is looking for 120 summer interns this year. I did a quick search on LinkedIn Jobs with keywords "summer intern in Sunnyvale, CA" came back with 2696 results.

There are a lot of companies that have great internship programs, the important thing to consider is: what is your desired career path?
Based on your hashtags, you have a lot of opportunities, from support, design, or even sales.

There are many ways to apply for tech internships. When I was applying myself, I figured out the order of their effectiveness.
1. Attend overview and networking events by different tech companies visiting campus. Go and meet the visitors, ask them questions. Basically, show real interest.
2. Grow your LinkedIn connections. They will help you get more posts about open internship positions in your feed.
3. Look out for companies which have open positions in or near your location. There are positions which doesn't provide relocation or target local residents.
4. Look for companies which have university recruiters. They invest in special team to hire more interns.
5. Apply to as many companies as possible.
Now when you apply, spend some time to prepare your resume according to the Job description. Not everyone spend time reading everything in the resume, so they have to be to the point. Use different resume for different positions if required.
Once you get call, go through the interview process for the company. That will help you prepare well. Some companies focus more on technical knowledge and some on behavioral.
Wish you a great future.
