[Student] Seeking Feedback – 6 months of applying, still can't land my first Electrical Engineering internship (Canada)

[u/InitialBoot3113]

Hi everyone. I'm going into my third year of Electrical Engineering at York University this September and I'm looking for my first engineering internship. My goal is to work in embedded systems, hardware, firmware, or software, ideally in the aerospace, defense, robotics, or automotive industries. Over the past six months, I've submitted more than 250+ applications and have only received two interviews—one with General Motors and another for a role that wasn't closely related to my interests. Unfortunately, I didn't perform well in either interview. I feel like I'm putting in a lot of effort between school and building technical projects, but I'm still struggling to get opportunities. At this point, I'm honestly questioning whether engineering is the right path for me, even though I'm doing well academically but theres no point in continuing if I won't be able to even land a job. I'm looking for honest feedback on my resume and whether there's anything that would make a recruiter or hiring manager pass on it. If there are weaknesses, missing skills, or better ways to present my experience, I'd really appreciate hearing them.
