I'm currently studying CS and I'll get my bachelor's degree next year. I've been searching for remote SWE internships for months now and have not had any luck. I even made a project to put on my resume and it's still just rejection email after rejection email. Maybe I need more projects? What tips do you have for getting an Internship?

I really don't want to go back to my previous job cause working with old people in rural America as a minority is literally hell. I think I might just go into omega debt instead lol.

Thanks so much for the advice! :)

I was thinking of making a website (a GitHub Jekyll site) to put my resume on (with it also still being available as a document). Do you think that would be impressive or not worth the effort?

I think it's worth the effort. About 1/3 of candidates I see a resume for have their own site. I always give it a read, if they do.
