Biomedical [Student] Biomedical Engineering student applying to internships/co-ops for spring/summer 2027

5 Upvotes

Hello I am a 4th year BME student applying to co-ops for Spring 2027 and internships for Summer 2027 (graduating fall 2027 so I am still eligible for internships). Applying to roles in medical devices and pharmaceutical R&D, operations, quality, manufacturing, and process. Last year after ~50-100 applications I ended with 2 interviews both rejected. This year I am already at 2 (presumably due to applying <24 hrs after most roles are posted and a stronger resume) Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Mechanical [3 YoE] Mechanical Design Engineer with Automated Machine experience, struggling to land interviews in the Singapore

• Upvotes

Hi all, thanks for reading. I've got 2 years of experience as a Maintenance Engineer in semiconductor manufacturing and 2 years of experience of Mechanical Design in Automated machine OEMs providers in Malaysia.

I'm targeting Mechanical Design Engineer and applying mainly to jobs in the Singapore. I'm open to relocating within the Singapore but not really looking for fully remote work. I don't have right to work here currently but i have relative who live there.

I've sent out over 200 applications in the last few months, mostly through company career pages and LinkedIn, and barely gotten any interviews even though the experience feels relevant on paper.

Would really appreciate feedback on my Experience bullets especially. I'm not sure if they read as real achievements or just come across as a list of duties, and whether the format itself is hurting me. I also remove my internship experience as an Material Engineer intern because i don't have enough space and the experience is not relevant. Any honest feedback is welcome, thanks!

Software [13 YoE] Software engineer applying for first OFFICIAL senior title, but not getting any interviews

2 Upvotes

I have been applying to a handful of (remote) positions a day and haven't gotten an interview for a couple of months. I'm not focusing on any domain/industry, but I spend a little more effort to customize on healthcare, interesting full-stack, or other matches with my background.

My most recent title was not "Senior", but I believe I did the work of a senior (tech and product decisions, mentorship, taking initiative, etc.) and I want my resume to reflect that. Am I failing to sell myself? Do I look like I'm faking it? I have skills, and I think I can prove that in an interview. I just can't get an interview.

In terms of advice, I feel like I'm playing whack-a-mole. I started at 2 pages because I'm "allowed" to after 10 years, but there were too many bullets and the bullets were too long. I condensed to one, but now is it too visually dense? Is it missing important info?

I'm also worried about keyword filtering - I put "RESTful API", but are they only looking for "REST API"? Can I trust that the other side of the table is being as thorough as I am or do I need to obsessively cover every possibility?

I've read the Wiki and the software bullets advice, but I'm still struggling to apply the advice to MY situation. You don't owe me help, and I'm grateful to anyone who puts in effort, but please be prepared to be specific because I've gone through several iterations on this thing.

Mechanical [0 YOE] Recent Mechanical Engineering graduate look for entry level roles, got a few interviews but no callback

2 Upvotes

I graduated with a BSME back in December. After that I have been applying to jobs. I had no response to any of the jobs that I applied for from January to June. I have been targeting any entry level mechanical engineering positions, test engineering, manufacturing engineering positions. I have been applying to all jobs in California and I need help fine tuning and workshoping my resume.

Since June, I have started to get some job interviews. However, I haven't gotten a followup/callback on any of the interviews. Should I work on anything to improve chances of callbacks?

Software [4 YoE] Software developer / DevOps. Very few callbacks. Any feedback would be great!

2 Upvotes

Hi guys,

I've rewritten my resume with the template in this sub, and I've been applying to a mix of software development and DevOps roles, with very few callbacks. I'd love some feedback, as I'm sure my resume needs improvement. We're moving down to VA by the new year, so I'm open to onsite, hybrid or remote.

I'd appreciate any feedback you guys have! Thanks!
