I am senior ME student in my last year as an undergrad. I am located in central Florida
I am hooping to get an internship this summer but have not had any luck thus far, all I have to show on my resume is research that I currently do at the university and work in the hospitality industry.
My cumulative GPA is 2.7 and from conferences and career fairs I have attended all companies turn me down because of my GPA.
What company can I look for that will give me the opportunity?? what am I supposed to do?
I was initially scheduled to graduate in May but after attending a conference in October I found out that companies don't want recent grads without any experience in industry (internships, co-ops); I had three interviews but no offers. That's why I decided to postpone graduation but I still can't get an internship with my GPA, worse case scenario I don't get an internship this summer, I graduate and then I can find full-time employment. I am a very frustrated and close to a depressive state. I made terrible mistakes with my grades when I first started college, I can't do nothing about the past, I'm can only work to make a better future for me and my family.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
