<p>I would like to ask 2 questions regarding this</p>
<ol>
<li><p>Is this something that was sent by the system just because the contents in my resume matched some key parts in the requirements, or is the company genuinely interested in me?</p></li>
<li><p>Although this type of internship isn't what I'm really interested in, should I still take it since this is my first internship? (I mean it's still december and all and I can still apply for more but I have been having depression which led to bad gpa and only have volunteering or retail job experiences which makes my resume not really stand out).</p></li>
</ol>
<p>It was likely auto-generated by the system picking up on keywords. As for whether to apply, that depends - is it something you can see yourself doing and reasonably enjoying? Will it provide you with transferable skills that will help you land future internships? Or is it something that you’d do out of desperation just to land <em>any</em> internship? If it provides a challenge and is relevant to your goals, then I’d say to go for it.</p>
<p>It definitely looks auto-generated by a service you signed up for. I am hesitant to get involved with companies promising to place you in an internship, but it is worth exploring this. Take your next steps, but when you go to interview, make sure you keep an eye out. If something seems too good to be true, it probably is.</p>
<p>As an example, my freshman year, I signed up for an internship “placement” service that promised to find me a paying internship. They called me in for an interview, telling me about an opportunity that sounded great. When I got to the interview location, it was a dirty two-room office that had no permanent furniture and no indication of what company occupied the space. I did not recognize all of the red flags at the time, and this “company” strung me along for months before just disappearing altogether; as a result, I turned down a different opportunity and was left without any internship opportunities by May. </p>
<p>tl;dr - Pursue this, but take everything with a grain of salt.</p>
