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

[u/Unable-Disaster7197]

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!

Trying doing research in your department. It’s not industry experience, but at least it’s relevant to your field. That way the employers would at least know you have had experience in your field outside of classrooms. I agree with the other comments - main issue being lack of experience (the resume doesn’t stand out). Also I would agree that adding some of your classes may help.
