Work on simple certifications. I had the same issue but got an excel cert in one day, a SQL and Bloomberg cert in a week and did volunteer work over a span of two weeks that I was able to buff up my resume. Two weeks later my resume looked a lot stronger. Based on recruitment cycle for 2023 interns you have 4-6 weeks to really buff it and up and that’s plenty of time.

I’ve had three interviews for an internal position over a period of about 6 weeks The last was over a week ago.

Or whatever would be nice. I feel disrespected.
