How I Landed My Internship at OrantAI — and How You Can Too
Landing an internship can feel overwhelming, especially when you're just starting out. I want to share my honest journey — the ups, the downs, and how I finally landed a 6-month Brand Strategist Internship at OrantAI. If you're a student or just starting your career, I hope this helps you!
My Real Journey
Like many students, I started my search on LinkedIn. I applied to dozens of internships, tailoring my resume and cover letter for each one. Most of the time, I didn't even get a reply. It was discouraging, but I kept going.
After a lot of rejections and self-doubt, I finally got an interview with OrantAI. I was excited but also nervous — this was a company working on cutting-edge AI and branding, and I really wanted to be part of it.
The Application Process
- LinkedIn is your friend: I found most opportunities through LinkedIn. Set up alerts, follow companies, and don't be afraid to apply even if you don't meet every requirement.
- Customize everything: I made sure my resume and cover letter highlighted my marketing and branding skills, and I always researched the company before applying.
- Persistence pays off: I applied to so many places before OrantAI. Don't get discouraged by silence or rejection — it's normal!
The Interview & Selection
The interview process at OrantAI was friendly but thorough. They wanted to know about my real experiences, not just what was on my resume. I talked about:
- My freelance marketing work
- How I manage projects as a student
- Why I'm passionate about branding and AI
A few days later, I got the offer! I was selected as a Brand Strategist Intern for 6 months. It felt amazing to see my hard work pay off.
Tips for You
- Don't give up easily. Rejection is part of the process for everyone.
- Keep learning. Use free resources, build your skills, and show your passion.
- Network. Connect with people in your field — sometimes a conversation leads to an opportunity.
- Be authentic. Let your real story and motivation shine in interviews.
Final Thoughts
If you're struggling to land an internship, you're not alone. Keep applying, keep learning, and don't lose hope. If I can do it, so can you!
