Our Tips & Tricks for Landing a Role 📝
Use your resources! Visit your university/department's career center and seek their help. They likely offer help with resume writing, interview preparation, and more. When thinking about your resume, make sure your anticipated graduation date is easy to find. That is the first thing we look for to help us see where you would fit into our internship program. You should highlight relevant coursework for your major (not general education classes), and any prior work experience.
Gain practical experience! For structural engineering, construction experience can be just as valuable as an internship - especially for the summers after your freshman and sophomore years. Get involved in engineering related clubs, competitions, or personal projects - and be an active participant. If you put it on your resume, be ready to talk about what you contributed to the organization/project.
Be persistent and positive! Landing an internship or that first job out of school can be challenging, but persistence pays off. Stay positive, learn from rejections, and keep applying. At Apex, we look for students with at least Junior level major-related coursework completed. Every year, we talk to hundreds of freshmen and sophomores, who just aren't there yet. A rejection isn't any reflection on you - it's more of a reflection on the company knowing the specific needs of the position and the credentials that previous successful candidates brought to the table.
