Is hundreds of applications really how it has to be /u/davms87 CSCQ protests reddit

I’m a sophomore cs major applying to internships. I’ve spent at least 8 hours a day for the past week working on my resume, LinkedIn, GitHub, and finally applying to internships. I’ve only applied to 39 as of now, but it’s so unpleasant. With every application I do, I know that I will most likely never even hear back from them and that a human will probably never read my resume. Still, I work petty hard on each application, I adjust my resume and write a cover letter.

Since rejections are mostly just ghostings, I won’t really get the feedback that there is something wrong with my resume, and make changes to try and better my chances.

I don’t think I can do this much effort for 100 applications, and I’m so slow that they’ll all have been filled by the time I apply.

I’m so disheartened, I am really motivated to get an internship and I have a lot of good qualities (very high gpa, part time it job, 2 projects). I just think it might go all to waste.

I’m not gonna stop trying. I’m going to finish my first list tomorrow (9 more apps I think) and find new ones. I just don’t know how much hope I should have.
