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!

Generally, internship apps will open up for Summer 2026 in Aug/Sep.

That’s when you really wanna get into it. For now, chill and do your best at whatever you got going on this Summer.
