Hi,

Anything more you know is an asset.

For instance I am working on an Angular project from a **.devcontainer** which is based on Docker. So it can help to know about Docker.

That said try to find one without waiting for this knowledge. Just ask if potential company would be interested in that Docker skill or if it is possible to have you in without that Docker skill at first.

In France and maybe many other areas, this is the golden time where Devs students are looking for an internship. You are competing with those people.

Cheers
