[Student] [MechE – Student in the US] 3rd year Student Resume Review. can't get any interviews for internships
Hi! As the title said, 3rd year mechanical engineering student in the US (21 white male if relevant) looking to get a summer 2027 internship. I'm an international student on F1 student visa and looking to get a job in the US after graduation. I'm located in the New England area but open to relocating and have been applying to jobs everywhere in The US. I cannot pursue a co-op because I can't take a semester off so my options are only summer internships before a full-time role.
I have been applying to internships through Handshake and company websites, but I'm only getting rejected. I'm not sure whether that is due to my visa status (although I don't need sponsorship to work as a summer intern) or due to my resume being not competitive enough for the engineering job market. I am mainly interested in MedTech companies but I'm honestly open to any engineering job whether in hardware, automotive, construction, HVAC, etc.
Please help me improve my resume overall, whether in DMs or comments. I'd also appreciate advice on navigating the engineering job search as an international student. Thank you!
