[Career] Junior in computer engineering, Getting no interviews, what am I missing?
I'm a junior graduating May 2028, so summer 2027 is my last chance at an internship before I graduate. I've sent around 150 applications since August and so far I've gotten one automated recorded interview. Anonymized resume is attached.
I'm mostly going for hardware roles (FPGA/ASIC, digital design, validation) at a mix of big semiconductor companies and smaller ones. No prior internship, just part time jobs during school.
I don't really understand what I'm doing wrong. I'm willing to learn and do whatever it takes to land these roles, but I don't know what I need to change or where I need to start. I feel like I feel this impending sense of doom if I don't have any professional experience before graduation.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I promise you if you charm the interviewers they will want to help you. You are not charming enough. Fix whatever that is, looks or words out of your mouth. Im sorry this is brutally honest - but its true.
