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.

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.
