Job Search Co-op at ExxonMobil USA

Hi all,
I’m a chemical engineering student and applied for the ExxonMobil Summer 2025 internship back in December 2024. I haven’t received any communication yet. Has anyone else heard back or know when they typically respond?

Any advice on follow-up or how to stand out would be greatly appreciated!

PhD? you were probably seen as overqualified.

i thought the co-op requisitions required applicants to be currently enrolled in a 4 year degree. if so, you do not qualify.

This Co-op was specifically for PhDs as described in their title and description.
