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!

What kind of internship are you aiming for? I would cut out some of the stuff that doesn’t matter. There is some stuff on the resume that employers just don’t care for. I would add things that you have accomplished in college related to coursework like labs or whatever deliverables that show that you worked hard and delivered results. Employers want concrete results so that they can envision that translating to the internship.
