Concepts

Writing resumes can be a very tricky affair because your resume is basically an introduction to your
employer. So you can be rest assured that first impression matters. Prior to receiving your resume, the
recruiter or employer has no knowledge of who you are or your previous achievements as grand as they
might be, so always aim not to impress but to express.

The recruiter will probably be more interested in getting to know who you are as a person than the
things you’ve achieved and there’s a very high probability that it is not a lot given that you’re applying for
an internship anyway.

A recent study conducted shows that the average recruiter takes a look at a resume for no longer than
six seconds and will only look for any longer period of time if the six-second glance was worth it.

So kindly look inwards and try to come up with a way to establish a relationship between you and
the recruiter in less than six seconds. You’re most probably wondering how on earth it’s possible to do that
sort of thing. Well, it is and you’ll learn just how to do it right here.

The first thing to do while writing that resume is to look at your previous experiences and check if
you’ve done anything related in any way at all to the work you’re currently trying to apply for.

For Example
If you’re applying for an internship at a digital marketing agency, then you should be looking out for any
experience in a field such as social media management. Look for times where you have handled any social
media account for any brand, even if it’s a personal one and turn it into a corporate experience.

While writing your resume for an internship, you can be rest assured that the recruiter or company
does not expect you to have serious professional qualifications and your current qualifications are only
expected to boost your academic or career goals, hence you can totally include all those skills you gained on
your own and show willingness to gain more skills.

Resume Basics for an Internship Position


It should perfectly highlight your strengths and be appropriately structured.
There is absolutely no need for preambles so you should go straight to the point and make the position
you’re applying for very obvious.
Avoid errors and make your resume very easy to read.
Above all, make sure that your resume isn’t more than one page.
Reiterating the above, the recruiter does not expect you to have tons of experience but that does not
give you the permission to fill up your resume with generic information as it sends a very bad message to the
recruiter about you.
Also, keep it in mind that your recruiters are looking for someone who has skills that are honed
personally through practice and very willing to learn.

Skills such as; the ability to work under pressure and meet target deadlines, a very high level of
creativity, impressive communication skills, hard work and exceptional leadership abilities.

Recruiters are usually more interested in relevant work experiences so kindly focus more on that.

On your resume, there are basic things that should attack your recruiter first, and one of them is your
'Professional Summary' which is where you tell your recruiter what you have got to offer in just a couple of
sentences.

Always make sure that you do not turn in a resume without a professional summary as that’s the best
way to let your employer know what you’re good for or at.

Your resume should be tailored to fit the position you’re applying for, as this gives the recruiter the
idea that you’re already a nice fit for their company even long before you’re offered a position.

You should also never forget to include all the awards and honors you’ve received as little as they
might be, they go a long way in creating a lasting impression in the mind of your employer and give you an
edge of credibility over other resumes.

With all the above insights, you should be well on your way to securing that dream internship,
without an atom of doubt that you can be absolutely sure of. https://novoresume.com/career-
