[insidious]

I've been diving deeper and deeper into polishing my resume, looking at different internship opportunities, figuring out if i want to do an internship or go for research, etc etc.

I figured I'd post here and see if any of ya'll got some input

Right now i'm a second-year CS major looking at getting an internship in the summer. I've been through my U's internship directory, looked at different internet tips, bla bla. I was wondering if any of you had any experience or tips for applying to jobs? I'm looking at basically any programming job, (though preferably something with Linux/ and C/C++/Python/Java) or some kind of security position.

This is my first time really applying for anything. I've never really legitimately done interviews before, or worked in a programming environment. I have some experience with WebDev but that was for a local business/freelance, as well as general programming freelance.

Here are my main issues:
Where else can I look for internship opportunities?
What can I do to improve my Resume?
How the hell do I win at the application? Cover letter? Etc.?
How to cater to a specific companies mission/culture?
Stand Out?

fuck. I'm so lost.
