Feeling a bit hopeless - need advice
I’m in my third year of my engineering degree (three semesters left) and I am struggling to find internship opportunities. Full transparency I was not a good student in my first few years of my degree and I failed a unit. Even though I locked in this past year my WAM is still sitting at around 66 (~approx 2.4 GPA).
I’ve applied to maybe around 15 different companies for their internship position but not even a rejection email was sent back to me let alone an interview. I don’t really have any work experience in the industry except for some unit which placed us at a consultancy company for a few weeks and that was 2 years ago now.
I really want to work in design/consulting for structures or bridges but I can’t help but feel like my shortcomings as a student and poor time management has really made it impossible for me to get my foot in the door. I don’t know where to go from here so I’m looking for any advice on the best steps I can take right now to get me where I want to go. I am from Melbourne Australia if that helps.
Thanks
