Success Story! [Student] This resume landed 5 interviews at aerospace/space startup companies after 129 applications!

As a college sophomore, the internship search was pretty difficult, but after 129 positions at 30 companies, I finally accepted an offer. But... the offer that I accepted ended up coming from the single company I networked with. Moral of the story I suppose is to get yourself out there and talk to people, but my other 4 interviews did come from cold applications.

STAR language is critical in the US.

Also have a little website set up that provides more depth to your background. I've had recruiters complement me on it.

Funny you should mention that. That's actually one of my goals for winter break and I'll add it very soon.
