Got an interview with Mizuho and wanted some hell

First timer here. Never heard of WSO despite being a School of Business student. Didn't manage to get a 2023 internship and nothing till now for 2024.

Feeling like a loser. I did apply to a lot though. But never managed to break in.

But got my last shot for Summer 2024. My major is Computer Information Systems (CIS) with concentration in Cybersecurity. But its in School of business. So its like a mixute of CS+BUSINESS.

Got some cybersecurity experiences. But mostly remote; back in my country. Now got an information security (IS) intern interview tomorrow.

The pay is good, It's in NYC. But I'm scares af. What should I expect? What questions can I ask about Mizuho? Any tips?

I really need this internship. I dont want to graduate without anything.

Also about 2025. Should I start already? Or wait?
