CV for Internship
Write a CV for your internship application
Internship recruiters know you're early in your career — they're looking for potential, relevant coursework and a genuine interest in the field. Careero helps you show all three.
What internship recruiters look for
For internships, employers weigh relevant modules, projects and enthusiasm more heavily than years of experience. A focused CV that clearly connects your studies to the role stands out immediately.
- A summary that names the internship field and your motivation.
- Relevant coursework and projects placed high on the page.
- Transferable skills from any job, society or volunteering.
- Clean, ATS-friendly formatting so nothing gets filtered out.
