Applying
Applications for software engineering roles generally require just a few things:
Your resume is your main selling point, but there are a few other things you can do to make your application stand out.
The Job Search
If you are applying for your first technical job, you should cast a wide net and apply to as many opportunities as possible that interest you.
It is important to be aware of hiring timelines. It’s always a good idea to apply when applications first come out since you have a better chance of being noticed by recruiters.

Look at and see if any company you are interested in have started recruiting. Also, is a way for you to see how much your expected internship rates are.
Below is a diagram to give you an idea of when you should be applying to internships based on the season you are recruiting for:
