Job Search ExxonMobil Internship

I really want an ExxonMobil internship. I'm going to be a junior, and I have a 3.94 GPA, was a TA for chem 1 and 2, and had prior work experience in project management. I am doing research in fluid dynamics and electrokinetics, although I am trying to pursue other research opportunities because I don't like it, and I am going to be an officer for AIChE at my school (American Institute of Chemical Engineers). How likely am I to get an internship, and what do I need to do to get one?

Solid work, my friend! I’m sure any oil and gas company would love to have you on their team but big companies are so competitive. If you hear the name a lot, they probably get a ton of resumes. Apply to refineries, anywhere else on the supply chain, and to other companies in the industry. Cast a wider net with some lesser known names.
