Why am I not getting an internship in Software Engineering? Seeking advice desperately...
-
Hi. I am a CS student seeking an intern position in software engineering. Originally I wanted to work in a thriving start-up company, or a big company, but now I am willing to work anywhere in the U.S. I thought my resume was pretty competent, but I realized that might be false. What is the problem with my resume, or with me? I do not have much CS background, or software development experience, as I started learning CS in my junior year, and I know this is critical. However, my GPA is good, and I achieved so many things within just a year. Please give me some advice. Also, if I can choose to do, or learn just one more thing(e.g. basic HTML, PHP, more Java(Hibernate, Spring, etc), coding competition, Android app development, or Java software development) this year to boost up my possibility, what would you suggest I do? I paste my resume below OBJECTIVE Intern/Co-op position(s) in software engineering (Spring, Summer, and/or Fall) EDUCATION <Some college ranked 100~110 for undergrad, 60 for CS grad> Graduation: January 2015(expected) B.S. in Computer Science & B.A. in Economics Overall GPA: 3.88, CS GPA: 4.0 Courses: (Taken) Data Structures, Intro to to Computer Science I, II, Discrete Structures, Probability Theory, Linear Algebra, Micro/Macroecon Theory, Math for Econ, Tools for Econ Analysis, Intro to Higher Math (In Progress) Intro to Algorithms, Operating Systems, Digital Systems HONORS, AWARDS & SCHOLARSHIPS 2013-2014 <some math scholarship> - Awarded to outstanding mathematics students ($5,000) EXPERIENCE Researcher, <some NSF-funded research> January 2013 - December 2013(full-time on summer, part-time on semesters) <Some place> - Worked on a research project in a team of three to advance the Chung-Ross conjecture on a Clos network by simulating different possibilities of data sizes - Formalized the problem of edge coloring in terms of constraint programming and implemented it in CPLEX, enabling hundreds of matrices to be tested for coloring per minute - Collaborated on emulating functions in Python modules(numpy and Sage into C++ to run on systems without Python, leading to approximately a 40% speed improvement - Collaborated on C++ and Python programs that randomly generates hundreds of doubly-stochastic matrices in a minute, with forced conditions to avoid repetition upon isomorphism - The paper is selected for presentation at MCURCSM 2013 conference on November Administrative Assistant, 5 Logistics Support Command September 2010 - July 2012 Republic of Korea Army - Managed personnel and logistics data, assigned duties, organized schedules, and maintained daily logs - Won 'Soldier of the Month' for efforts to improve equality among ranks and efficiency of work - Participated in the computing unit's design process of logistics programs and battalion's website PROJECTS - A program processing commands to record stock market transactions and report certain market statistics, using a self-implemented data structure that combines a vector and linked list(C++) - (In progress) An inventory management software that will sold to retail stores in Rwanda and Tanzania - A simple multi-threaded web server on a UNIX-based platform(C++) - A desktop version of Ravensburger's board game Lotus (Java) LEADERSHIP ACTIVITIES Founder & President(2012-2013), <school> Math Club TECHNICAL SKILLS Computer Languages: Java, C++, CPLEX Operating System: Ubuntu Linux Tools: SVN, Vi/Vim, Eclipse, Netbeans Language: Native in Korean

Answer:
There are too many non-CS stuff in your resume. You might want to add something like this TopCoder, ranking xxx, ACM Collegiate Programming Contest, Regional Champion, Contributing to open source project at spare time http://github.com/xxxx/xxxx More than 30000 lines of Java coding experience.
