Anyone else apply for the Monash Sourced Internship (Summer A 2026) and get rejected without even getting an interview?
Just got my rejection email — it said my proposal responses and CV didn't meet the required standard, so I was cut at the first (written application) stage.
My resume actually has internship experience, project experience and part-time work experience on it, so I didn’t think my background was that weak, but I still didn’t get through to interview.
Wondering if it was just an unusually competitive round this year, or if it's normally hard to even get to interview stage. If anyone did get through to interviews, would you mind sharing roughly what background/prep helped? Trying to get ready for the Semester 1 2027 round. Thanks!
