What should I put on my resume for an internship?

An internship resume can include education, relevant coursework, projects, technical skills, volunteering, and any previous experience. Choose the evidence that relates to the position, and make your own role in each activity clear.

What to do

• Read the internship requirements and select examples that demonstrate the requested skills. Academic work can be useful when its context is stated accurately.

• Describe your actions and deliverables in concise bullets. Include a project link when it helps verify your work and is ready for someone else to inspect.

• List previous internships or part-time work with accurate titles and dates. Highlight relevant contributions without claiming responsibility for an entire team's result.

Example

If you implemented filters in an internal dashboard under a mentor's guidance, describe the filtering work and its users instead of claiming to lead the dashboard project.

Make it easy to see what you have practiced and completed, even when your experience comes mainly from education or projects.
