Students are increasingly reporting that finding internships has become frustrating and unclear, despite applying to many opportunities.
Common issues include no responses after applications, listings requiring prior experience, unpaid or misleading postings, and automatic resume filters rejecting candidates too early. Many students also feel that internship platforms lack transparency and proper verification.
As a result, students are calling for more beginner-friendly roles, clearer requirements, and better systems that actually connect applicants with real opportunities.
