Junior struggling to land an interview. Do I need to fix my resume?

Hey everyone,

I'm pretty new to WSO. A junior here still looking for a summer internship unfortunately. I've been applying but I haven't had any luck landing an interview. I was abroad last semester so it's been tough and I'm absolutely behind at this point.

I didn't think my resume needed many edits but the fact that I can't get an interview probably proves otherwise.

Appreciate any advice/help.

Your resume looks solid. You just need to network until it hurts; reach out to alumni on linkedin who work in finance, speak with professionals at your school who teach/work in the finance department and see if they can help you (putting you in contact with other professionals). Also start cold calling/cold emailing as many places as you can. Persistence and determination is the only thing that will get you an interview.
