What matters for an internship

🎯

Relevance over length

Lead with the coursework, projects and skills closest to the internship — not a full history.

🌱

Show potential

Enthusiasm, quick learning and initiative matter as much as a track record at this stage.

🧾

A tailored summary

Two lines naming the internship area and what you bring beat a generic objective.

Marketing specifics

Marketing recruiters look for creativity backed by results, plus hands-on experience with content, social and analytics. “Grew a society Instagram from 200 to 1,500 followers in a term and drove 90+ event sign-ups” shows exactly the creativity-plus-results marketing teams want.
