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!

NSBE career fairs are pretty good. Get a board seat if you can. That helped a lot of people when I was in school

Add whatever projects/assignments in school where you got to learn and improve the technical skills that you listed.

I would also order your bullet points by how relevant they are to the internship you are applying to. Things like “supervised 10 associate” and “leading on job training” will be more valuable and translate better to an engineering role than customer service experience.
