Struggling to get interviews

Question

Hi everyone, I'm a junior studying computer science at OSU, with an AI specialization. I have a good GPA and resume with two past startup internships, but I'm not getting many interviews when I apply right now. I don't really have referrals, so that might be the problem. Anyone got any tips I that might help? I recently started tailoring my resume to each job ad. I am applying to out of state companies, looking for non startups in tech.

Have you spoken to your career center or any advisors in your college? Professors who do quite a bit of industry work like research, partnerships, or consulting have contacts that may be good referrals. Make friends with your profs. Take them out to get a beer or something at Little Bar or go for coffee

Lots of companies are pausing or freezing internships for the time being. Need to cut costs as the growth centers they had have dried up. This is what happens when you have rapid expansion, the market has to correct itself and catch up. Sorry you guys, everyone is hurting rn though so it's not you.

Market is tough right now. This is just a part of the game. Don't be discouraged though. Companies are not in a rush to hire new grads across the board. Even in "hot" specializations, things are slow and probably will get slower until next year.
