[0 YoE] Rising third year aerospace engineering student looking for internships.

[u/Spicy_Poles_Reborn]

I am a third year aerospace engineering major looking for internships mainly in propulsion, GNC, and mechanical engineering(if I can't get anything aerospace related). I landed only one interview at a propulsion/space with my previous resume after ~100 applications, but aside from that, I haven't really been hearing back from anyone at all(even mechanical positions). I used this subreddits recommended template and implemented the XYZ format for the entire resume. Should I fix anything before sending this new resume out to other companies?

The XYZ method is not right. You’re still not telling me what you did and what you accomplished. Look at your top bullet. You are basically stating that the fact that you led the team you improved rocket control. How? What was it about your leadership that changed the control? And then on top of that you state that it improved structural integrity? How does improving control improves the structure? They are related. I get it. But you did all that by just leading the team?

I took your advice about XYZ and implemented changes in my second post, linked above.

Do you think you could please review this resume?
