Engineering major w/o experience looking to get internship
I'm a current engineering major at a decent school(no target) we've got two banks coming in though, and I'm trying to apply online to others before deadlines.
I really want to nail down my resume and what I should say so I can land a spot. Especially since I have no experience in the field and they'll ask what I know already.
Really need help turning my current experience into viable things. Also some advice on what else I can do?
Thanks.
Any help?
You need to edit and re-upload your resume, we can't read that tiny thumbnail.
You can just click the resume, go to "Original" and see it normal size...
To the OP, include some more relevant experience (have you joined any student clubs yet?). Expand on the tutor section, shouldn't be just one random line. Mention how many students were helped, revenue generated etc. Put Skills on one line then combine it with Awards & Associations. Also, why do you have 3 schools on there? I think you should get more involved in your current university that way you can replace the CC stuff and put some relevant info on there that the banks wanna see.
Also, get rid of the objective, dude.
thanks. Should I just leave the current descriptions for the other things I have on there? I have 3 schools b/c I attended them all.
Just joined a finance club and haven't done anything, should I put that under associations?
You're not required to list every school you attended on your resume...this isn't a transcript. Only list what is relevant...that would be the university you're getting your degree from. Since you had some pretty cool engineering project experience at CC I agree you should leave it for now. But like I said before as soon as you start replacing those with more relevant experiences (like your finance club) just take it off. Definitely add the club to associations, I would try to gun for a leadership position if you can. Its usually not that much extra work and a good talking point in interviews.
Overall though I think you're pretty set. Your stats are good as you're getting a high GPA in a hard major. Just need to work on the execution and start networking if you haven't already done so.
Thanks!
Sorry for all the questions. Is there anything I can do to prepare for the questions they'll ask me? I know only a little information and don't want to be there just saying, oh Im an engineering major I really no nothing.
