Hello there, the application forms for Google's Software Developer Intern positions are now closed, and the last date is today, July 21, in India. Most of you, my developer friends, might already know this and have registered.

So, I also applied and, thankfully, received a referral for this internship from a Google employee. I am very grateful for this opportunity and don't want to let it slip out of my hands.

So, here is some resources and youtube videos you guys can check out from research I did on how to crack an internship at google -

I wanted to add that I was not expecting this opportunity to come my way, so I was preparing at a very slow pace. It will be really tough for me to catch up and reach the Google level, but we can only hope for the best. All we can control is the hard work we put in.

Cheers to you all! I'll keep sharing more useful resources and keep you updated about my journey.

Also, I wanted to tell you guys that this is my very first Hashnode blog, and I'm super excited! I'm looking forward to the love and support of our amazing community!

Prateek signing off! Until next time, stay positive and keep pushing forward!
