What would you suggest I do to get an internship in Java or Spring, given that I have no prior work experience? What would give me the highest probability of success?

To increase your chances of getting an internship in Java or Spring without prior work experience, I recommend the following steps:

1. Build a strong portfolio: Create and showcase your own projects on platforms like GitHub to demonstrate your skills and passion for programming.
2. Network: Attend industry events, conferences, and meetups to connect with professionals in the field who may offer opportunities or advice.
3. Learn continuously: Stay updated with the latest trends and technologies in Java and Spring by taking online courses, reading blogs, and participating in coding challenges.

It feels like no matter what projects i can build or will build,trying to get hired in remote internship is virtually impossible especially when you dont know people

[bright nest]

ur CV should list projects relevant to the job ur applying for

so for example if ur applying to a job ad that looks for a spring backend dev for making a rest api on a webshop, mysql database, jackson, ... whatever list of skills
ideally ur CV has projects ticking those boxes

that makes u a strong candidate

there isnt really any wizardry involved, its that simple

remote depends a lot on various factors. most important probably being whether its in the same country or not

I believe you might have been in a position similar where you were looking for "first" internship , maybe not java ...but anyway during those time,what was the timeline of projects you would do?like would you create 1 project a month

[bright nest]

i had accumulated projects beforehand already. so i had a full CV

[lime willow]

yeah , the country thing is very blackpilling when applying

[bright nest]

1 project a month sounds a bit ambitious but doable

working remote cross-contry is very complex on the legal side

and in many cases even straight out impossible

even worse if u for example want to work from outside the EU for inside the EU

[lime willow]

I am like in 3rd year now , not having a remote internship is definetly bothering me and the local "internships" are unpaid most of the time

[bright nest]

(in this case its more a legal thing and less the company not wanting to hire u)
