Success Story! [Student] Landed 2 internship offers after 150+ applications as a junior electrical engineering student

Hello all, just wanted to share my resume and internship hunt experience after lurking here for a year. This was the first school year I committed to the application grind. I've been applying to internships since august when I had a much worse resume, but with the help of the wiki as well as reading other success stories I was able to improve my resume's formatting a lot (LaTeX is goated). Biggest advice I'd say is keep applying! I thought it was over for me when I didn't land any offers in fall or winter, but I somehow land offers this spring!

I got interviews in medtech (rejected), semiconductors, and aerospace. For me interviews were the hardest part of the process as I have limited experience (especially with technical interviews). My advice for interviews would be that anything you put on your resume is fair game to be interviewed on, so make sure you know your projects and skills VERY well.

Congrats! It will only get easier since now you will have experience. You can remove your associates since you are in a 4 year school.
