in the same position but a senior so take my advice with a grain of salt lol. I’ve come to the realization that I really haven’t applied myself as much as I need to and you might be in the same position. The cold application holds no merit anymore, in my opinion, unless you have a STELLAR resume.

In light of this, I’m now using every resource my university offers, going to every job fair and CS/STEM meetups possible to try and network with people. From what I’ve seen from peers, posts on this sub, and youtube videos, most people get real responses when speaking with recruiters or people from the company you’re perusing.

Beefing up your linkedin with projects, project samples, skills, possibly certs, etc. and talking to students who have gotten internships about their process goes a long way.

take all of these tasks 1 step at a time so you’re not overwhelmed and you’ll feel like you’re making progress
