How to write a Intern CV
A general internship CV is about potential. Employers want to see curiosity, reliability and transferable skills from your studies, part-time jobs, volunteering and student clubs. Keep it to one page and tailor the summary to the department you are applying to.
Writing tips
- Write a two-line summary that names the field you want to grow in and the strengths you bring.
- Treat student jobs and volunteering as real experience: list responsibilities and one result for each.
- Highlight skills a team can use on day one, such as Excel, Canva, social media or basic data analysis.
- Proofread carefully — spelling mistakes are one of the most common reasons intern CVs are rejected.
Frequently asked questions
How long should an internship CV be?
One page. Recruiters spend only seconds on intern applications, so focus on education, the most relevant activities and your skills.
Should I add hobbies to an internship CV?
Only if they say something useful about you, such as team sports, a blog, a coding club or competitive chess. Skip generic hobbies like reading or travel.
