How To Write A Resume For An Internship: Examples and Tips
Internships are your launchpad to the great professional career ahead. Plenty of successful people started with one. Steve Jobs had a summer job at Hewlett-Packard as a teen, where he developed a penchant for technology. Andrea Jung, the CEO of Avon, was once a retail intern at Bloomingdale. And of course, there’s Lauren Weisberger, the author of The Devil Wears Prada, which was roughly based on her time as an assistant to Vogue’s editor.
But because good internships open many doors, the competition can be cut-throat. Half of internship seekers submit over 50 applications before landing a spot. This means you need to come prepared.
This post will show you how to write a resume for an internship that’ll make recruiters say “Congrats, you’re in!”
