A useful starting point
Treat the internship hunt like a job: one page, education first, then projects that look like work. Skip a two-page life story. Skip this example if the advert is a graduate scheme — that is a different document.
These examples illustrate structure, not a real applicant’s history. Replace every sample detail with your own evidence. Follow the employer’s instructions on qualifications, registration, document length and file format.
Evidence to consider
- Course and year
- Tools named in the advert
- A project with a shipped artefact
- Availability dates
