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!

If you have no relevant experience, I recommend putting work experience after things like education and projects, and make sure to focus in those sections on things relevant to the jobs you're applying for.
