It's been 1.5 years since COVID were rolled back. If he has done nothing to sell about himself, he's just lazy.

Oh, and yes, it's a huuuuuge red flag.

I'd rather not say exactly. Liberal arts department. And if you ask him, he just fell into it. Not a passion.

Engineering and you didn't have any internships? No employer offered you and your friends jobs at the end of your rising senior summer internships?

One word - Plastics.

Dose s is not that many. He needs to look on Linked in and indeed etc. and empty resume is a bit of a red flag. Employers will think he doesn't know how to do anything and is lazy.

What’s his major?

nobody cares about GPA. He probably needs to reach outside of his school's "online job portal" whatever that is.

Which Ivy League school and what was his major ?

He also blamed lack of summer internships on Covid, so his resume has practically nothing on it. Is it truly this difficult to land an offer in this uncertain economy, especially this late in the school year, or is he lying to us? Or is he nearly vacant resume as a graduating senior a huge red flag? He said he has submitted his resume to dozens of posts on the college's online job portal but he never gets responses. I have no way of verifying this.
