Mechanical [Student] - 150 applications later, I can't really get anything, in any field. Can't figure out if its the way my resume is written, or the experience itself just isn't good enough.

4 Upvotes

I've had this resume reviewed by some friends, but a lot of the ones with prior internship experience got it through a connection and unfortunately can't quite relate to cold applying.

I'm based in California and applying all over the state, specifically targeting SoCal and Sacramento since I live there. More than open to relocating to SoCal, even without housing assistance.

I've got a background in a lot of different areas, especially manufacturing. GPA has been left off as it is a 3.19. This winter I was planning on getting some certifications like CSWP and potentially basic Lean Six Sigma stuff just to maximize keywords

Targeting whatever comes my way. Manufacturing, design, quality control, HVAC - managed to scrape 2 hirevues, both of which I got rejected from. I don't know if my resume itself is formatted badly, not written well enough, or I truly just haven't done enough to get an internship now.

I recently uploaded my resume here and got some good advice.

And this is my new and improved resume.

I am just hoping to fix anything i missed, like rewording a section or something i can add or remove and maybe fix my formatting.

Software [Student] - How does my resume look for SWE/IT internships. I don't think I've made it past ATS in many application

2 Upvotes

I am in my 4th year of CS in Canada (will graduate after my 5th). I have been applying to SWE/IT roles but I'm pretty sure I haven't been getting past ATS. I am in Canada and only applying to positions within Canada or anything available for remote work from Canada. I have 1 YOE total in internships from the same company. I just want to maximize my chances of making through ATS and getting through to the OA round and hopefully to interviews. I am a Canadian Citizen.

Electrical/Computer [Student] Second year ECE student, targeting any and all EE/ECE internships. Looking for any critiques on my resume.

2 Upvotes

I've just started my second year at university as an electrical and computer engineering student. I joined a competition team this year, but as of yet I have not done anything worthy of adding to my resume. So far I've applied to about 50 internships in basically every EE/ECE field (MEP, Power, HW engineering, aerospace, embedded, basically everything except RF/chip design). Haven't been getting any interviews aside from a few auto OA's. Applying to internships in Seattle, SoCal, and SF. I realize my resume is pretty sparse, but I'm hoping my competition team and club from last year will give me more material to add soon. I'm also starting my major-specific coursework next semester. Any advice and/or critiques are welcome. Be brutally honest, I can take it. Thanks.

EDIT: One thing I just thought of. I'm intending to do a math minor (mostly just for fun). I technically will just declare that when I graduate, but should I add it to my resume at all? I've taken a few courses for it already.
