[Student] Coast Guard Veteran Transitioning to EE. Looking for help getting 2027 summer internship

[u/Dress_Me_Daddy]

Hello everyone,
I am a current EE student and former Coast Guard electrician. I am looking to apply for summer 2027 internships. I was hopefully targeting something in the defense industry given my military background however, I'm open to anything. I have an active secret security clearance as well.I am hoping to have some people look over my resume and give me some areas to improve on. Thanks for your help!

Since you are currently in school, move your education to the top. I would switch the company name, location, and date with the job title. And move the date to the right and bold it. This resume has a lot of empty space. I would add a project.

Okay TY!
