Writing Resumes for Internships?
- by ProdigySim
I'm an undergraduate student starting to look for internships. I understand a lot about how to embellish a real-world resume--emphasizing tasks done at previous jobs and whatnot--but I'm not sure if it will translate well to low-experience internship resumes.
Internship Resumes are marked by:
Few to no past Software-related full-time jobs or internships
Few to no non-school-involved Software-related activities
Obviously if you have no experience or activities to list, you're pretty well stuck. So let's assume we have one of each.
I'm basically wondering:
What is a company looking for most from Intern candidates? Past work, GPA/coursework, Outside projects (Open Source, etc), certain skill sets (languages)
Should I be emphasizing tasks, or jobs/positions when listing my experiences?
Are skills important to list? If so, which ones in particular?
