Hi guys, I'm a Petroleum Engineering student (CGPA ~3.5) seeking an internship placement (7 months, beginning in May). Any contacts/tips?

I've sent out my resume to many companies, no replies yet. Tbh since my scholarship arrangement already provides living allowance etc, I'm willing to work without pay as long as the position provides strong learning opportunities relevant to my field of study and is within the Klang Valley. Should I include that in my cover letter or will that sound too desperate?

Only two months left till my scheduled internship period begins, running out of time!

I've got an internship interview with a company called Roxar, and they want me to make a presentation on "dynamic modelling". I'm doing Petroleum Engineering at uni but I am only recently acquainted with reservoir modelling and simulation (this sem only taking the subject). How much do you think they're expecting me to know as a 3rd year student? I feel nervous about looking really dumb lol

Afraid my technical knowledge won't be good enough for them
