Job Search Rising ChemE Junior—Can’t land internships, need advice

Post image

Hey y’all, I’m a ChemE major going into my junior year and haven’t been able to land an internship the past two summers. I know I don’t have a ton of experience yet, but I’ve applied to a bunch of places and either get ghosted or rejected. I’ve also had a couple of interviews but never got chosen.

Could someone take a look at my resumee or give tips on what I could do better? Also, any recs and a list of companies that are open to students with limited experience would help a lot.

I really want to make next summer count. Appreciate any advice!

One general comment is that you might want to put your school work on there. Most internships will expect you to have already taken some core ChemE coursework, and it's hard to tell from your resume.

Also, hopefully this is in preparation for summer '26 because this summer isn't likely.

Thanks for the reply! Yes it’s for summer 2026. That is a great addition. I will add that in. Any company recs to apply?
