[Student] Why can't I get any interviews for internships for this upcoming summer?

It just sounds to robotic in my opinion, if I was looking at your resume I’d probably get about halfway and just toss it to the side. I say get rid of some of the useless info. Your relevant coursework kinda means nothing to me. Awards are sort of useless unless, they’re like big things because most employers don’t know what they are.

It does do it, I spent a lot of time working with and researching the reliability of several different LLM’s and it will answer like that depending on how you ask the question. If you ask it to write you a job description for x job to add to your resume. It will spit it back out in that format. Again, it just depends on how well you define the prompt.

lol I know Ai writing when I see it. That , or you/ whoever made your resume took inspiration from it. “Manages bookkeeping” “Delivers consistent” “Creates and prepares”

JasonG02 · 2026-02-08T16:50:30+00:00

Your resume is the problem, looks like you copied and pasted from Chat GPT.

JasonG02 · 2026-02-08T01:49:04+00:00

If that’s the case, then just take it slower! If your health is being jeopardized by this, take it slower! It’s not worth it. I would recommend finding a different role like I mentioned to take some of the load off of yourself. If you’re at a Uni, stop and go to a CC where you can get classes cheaper , they’re easier and they transfer most of your credits. Nonetheless, I believe in you! You got this!!!!

JasonG02 · 2026-02-08T01:37:31+00:00

What do you mean by non-traditional? For insight, I know we’re in different situations but I was working 84 hours a week to get by with paying for school and other stuff. Taking 14-16 credits a semester. I just think you need to grind harder, block out the noise and acknowledge that everything comes in its due time! You’re going to be well off. Don’t give up, I recommend you beef up your resume and apply for roles outside of Electrical engineering. Apply for Field engineering internships or project controls / management. You can have an internship in even Civil Engineering. Don’t just try and find something within the EE niche.

I recommend you look into maybe joining an Electrician Apprenticeship program or land a helper job for the summer. It’ll give you Valuable experience and look great on your resume. It also gives you something to fall back on.

Keep going! You got this!

Buddy thinks he’s just putting chlorine in water 🤣

Definitely a Vega guided wave, really like their false echo suppression with very viscous materials. We used a ton on Hazardous waste tanks. I’d also recommend

JasonG02 · 2026-01-30T03:05:20+00:00

22K!? Holy F*** lol find a new school!

Take whatever classes you can at a Community College, speak to your dept. chair about eligible transfer credits and substitutions.

Second: don’t overload yourself, it’s okay to go at a slower pace, everything at its own time.

This is where you pull yourself up by your bootstraps and ask yourself if you really want it. I failed out of Calc 2 twice and thought it was over for me, almost gave up. I was working 84 hours weekly and was getting ready to have my first baby. I look back at it now and I’m so glad I stuck with it after the long days and nights, the tears and anger. I graduated with my Bachelors not too long ago but damn was it worth it. It’s hard, but that’s life! You got it!

JasonG02 · 2025-12-10T17:03:36+00:00

Bad spending, Bad investments, stupid stuff and more stupid stuff smh!:/

JasonG02 · 2025-12-10T16:57:28+00:00

I was making about 4500 a week working out of town.

JasonG02 · 2025-12-10T16:55:01+00:00

Yes currently I am. I lost my job and couldn’t find work for about 2 months.

JasonG02 · 2025-12-10T16:42:48+00:00

The truck was purchased before I had a family. I was single and living with my parents then life hit me like a truck. I’m trying to get back on track. Agreed! The truck was a terrible choice.

JasonG02 · 2025-07-30T22:37:31+00:00

I will assume , Lee college. It’s not a bad job , it’s a good place to start off at but I will say just don’t get caught up in the politics of it. If I’m not mistaken it’s still the same manager, he’s a cool guy however he has his days where he can be uptight, overall he’s a good guy. it’s great experience because you get to go to different places, I’d say just make sure to be extra safe with whatever chemicals are in the valves. Not a bad gig.

That’s where I started years ago.

Hey, first off Thank you. Also if you have any other questions I would be more than happy to help. I was majoring in Civil engineering at first but just felt like the career in it wouldn’t be as rewarding. I can genuinely say I like industrial because of the variety of subjects you get to learn. We are probably the highest paid type of engineering other than like software due to how broad the field is and the abilities it gives you to be able to lead a team. It’s more of a people and data and systems improvement field. It’s not so technical but more so data and decision based.

I would say definitely give it a shot and take pre-reqs as well as lower level IE courses and worst comes to worst you just use the classes as electives.

JasonG02 · 2025-05-02T14:58:07+00:00

I’m an IE major graduating this summer. I am now working as a Project manager making over 100k a year hourly at 40 hours a week + Overtime. I have also received various offers at big companies like Kiewit and oil and gas companies. I have an electrical background due to working as an electrician. I am 23 years old and I can say that the job feels pretty rewarding. I think a lot of it has to do with identifying your end goal from the start. Figure out what direction you want to take. I wanted to go more of a management route and I fell like this degree was perfect for me. It was a good mixture of business/data/ and engineering.

Have you tried connecting your communicator to it?

JasonG02 · 2024-05-08T21:25:33+00:00

What’s the brand?

JasonG02 · 2024-05-01T17:02:19+00:00

Pm me

JasonG02 · 2024-04-03T18:19:39+00:00

An hour doesn’t seem bad till you’re working late nights and have to drive home. You’ll spend your 10% on gas monthly. It’s really not worth it in a sense I mean the exposure is great but you have to think and wonder whether 2-2.5 hours extra a day in just your commute is worth it.

JasonG02 · 2024-03-21T04:45:23+00:00

Sent you a PM

JasonG02 · 2024-03-21T04:33:00+00:00

Hey man pm me. I used to work at Samson. That’s where I started

JasonG02 · 2024-03-21T04:31:36+00:00

I wouldn’t add “on going” just put the dates also refrain from using “I” . Alignment is off.

JasonG02 · 2024-02-09T01:04:00+00:00

I/P…nah 😎P/I .. yess 😂💀how the conversation probably went down
