The best thing to do in this scenario is to go ahead and interview in a few small companies and startup’s. At least 6 interviews ideally If you have no professional experience yet apply to companies asking for 1y experience. They are still open to fresh graduates and even if they’re not for that role they could open up an internship opportunity.

Don’t prepare for the first three interviews, just treat them as practice.

Prepare a little bit for the next three.

Internships are great if you want to experiment and see what you like. Do a couple internships in different kinds of roles or industries based on what you’re interested in.

Start interviewing without expecting to get a job or preparing. This will allow you to be less stressed during the interview and you will be able to learn better.

Treat interviewing like learning a new programming language. Start with a hello world.
