[0 YoE, Unemployed/Undergraduate, Process Engineering Internship, United States]

I am currently a second year Chemical Engineering undergraduate aiming to apply for process engineering internships for the summer of 2027, as I currently have plans to continue working in my research group at school during the summer of 2026. I will inevitably have more experience in lab and robotics by the time applications start.

Further, I'm treating this as my general resume, which I may tailor to different positions. My target industries/positions are preferentially, but not limited to, semiconductor manufacturing, battery recycling, and water treatment (both industrial and municipal wastewater). I am willing to relocate anywhere in the contiguous United States.

Big Questions:

  1. Should I keep the skills section, reformat/reposition it, or scrap it? Is it redundant because I've mentioned the skills either explicitly or implicitly in my experiences? I've heard it's good to get past the keyword auto-filters, but it's also taking up space that could be used for other experiences.
  2. Should I condense all work, research, and extracurriculars into one big "Experience" header to save space, or is it better to keep them separate for readability and so that the recruiter is more likely to read more than just one?
  3. What could I do better in terms of wording/formatting, and what am I doing well in currently?
  4. Any recommendations for skills/activities I should develop further/start pursuing for my target positions/industries?
