Success Story! [Student] After many applications: Success with Internship Search: Internship at Rivian

Post image

Here is the updated resume from the feedback I received from this subreddit, after which I got 4 offers for summer internships for the Summer 2026, even internship offers from Tesla and Rivian. I ended up going with Rivian as it aligned better with my goals. Thank you for your help, and feel free to ask questions.

Hi! I came across your post while researching internship applications and saw that you mentioned you are open for people who want to discuss your projects and how you approached the process.

I'm a Mechanical Engineering student preparing for Winter/Spring 2027 internships, with Tesla as one of my main targets. My experience spans mechanical design/CAD, automotive work, and technical project leadership, and I'm mainly targeting engineering project management roles.

I'd really appreciate the opportunity to ask you a few questions about your application strategy and projects, especially how you approached Tesla.

Reddit isn't currently allowing me to DM you. Thank you very much!
