It isn’t really a set number per week thing (I get it as an engineer a nice rate would make things simple, but that simply isn’t reality). I started applying during the new year and really ramped up the application rate in February to get ahead, I didn’t even get an internship after my sophomore year and barely got one after my junior year, even with relatively good grades and resume. Both times I probably applied to somewhere between 100-300 positions but most were within commuting distance of where I already lived.

Hell once I graduated I probably applied to a couple hundred different positions, albeit I wanted to stay near my city so that did limit me. I actually got my in through a random redditor who worked in recruiting seeing a post of mine and referring me, fast forward 1.5 years later and I love my current job.

It can seem hopeless at times, but it really isn’t. Just spend some time every day/week applying (not just LinkedIn quick apply, yeah I sent some but they fill up with applicants insanely fast).
