Internship Application Tips

Just as there are an infinite variety of internships, there are an infinite variety of application process. Each firm or organization will have a unique deadline, specific requirements, and expectations for follow-through. For example, while most internships will require a resume and cover letter, others will request writing samples, transcripts, or recommendations. Painstakingly follow instructions. You can make your application stand out by following the advice below.

Cover Letter

Your efforts should be concise and well-organized. Keep in mind that cover letters for internships should be limited to one page and follow the standard, four-paragraph format:

1) State your purpose for writing it in plain language
2) Explain how your education, work history or unique background will allow you to make a substantive contribution to the position
3) Describe your plan for action: interest in an interview or what you will do to follow through
4) Concise, sincere sentence that thanks the recruiter or firm for considering your cover letter

If you are unsure of the tone or style of a cover letter, consult resources dedicated to the writing of cover letters for specific guidance. No matter what, do not write a single, generic cover letter and use it for all of your applications. Tailor your entire letter, especially the section where you discuss your background and experience, so that your letter is original and convincing

When you write a resume or CV for grad school entry, do you include only things relevant to your field?

We Answered:

Unlike a job-seeking resume, a graduate school resume includes all, not just targeted experience. So yes, include the jobs that weren't in your field.

I need help on my Resume/CV?

We Answered:

I have just written my CV and used Google to find some templates that I liked to get me started. This helped me alot with the layout of my CV but I struggled with the content of what I was putting into it. After looking all over the internet, I could not find any websites that actually told me what content was "acceptable" to include on my CV at my level (I'm a recent Graduate) so I had to get some additional help from a company that my friend's brother had used earlier this year.

They helped me with the content and also made me think more deeply about what I was putting into my CV. I'm not sure if this would help you with your CV but they might be worth a call - http://massivecvs.bttradespace.com/

Good luck!

First CV/Resume - Help?

We Answered:

If you're only 15, you won't be submitting your resume to become a lawyer or marketing executive anyway... Just start filling out job applications like crazy...

Sorry to hear about your situation... But, as long as you and your mom have each other, you'll get through this...

You want to focus on transferable skills and volunteer work.

* Transferable Skills: Anything learned from odd jobs such as babysitting or mowing lawns; computer skills; leadership and teamwork skills from participating in sports, band, etc.

* Volunteer Work: Charity or community work involving related skills; extracurricular school activities

* Recommendations: Teachers, coaches, guidance counselors, administrators, neighbors, customers from babysitting or lawn-mowing jobs

I hope this helps :-)

What's a resume? And do u have some examples ,plz?

We Answered:

Besides setting all margins to 1", the most important criteria for setting up a professional resume besides relevant text, is "scanability." Here are some helpful tips:

1. Place just below your identification header [your hame, address, phone, email address] any Conditional Warning Statement such as "Confidential Resume,"Do Not Contact Current Employer," etc.
2. Always fill-in an Objectives category [just below the Conditional Warning Statement] and make sure that he Objective will contribute to the profitability of your future employer;
3. Select a mono-type font such as Helvetica, Arial, Courier or Times Roman; do not select any cursive handwriting styles which cannot scanned;
4. Keep font sizes within a range of 10 to 12 pts.;
5. Avoid styling text with a justified alignment, keep it flushed left;
6. Instead of using tabs to set up blocked text entries, generate a table and use the column and row settings accordingly;
7. Do not place an i.d. picture anywhere on the resume, this is a major taboo due to discrimination issues;
8. Do not place any graphic text [saved as .gifs] onto the resume since it may be overlooked during the scanning phase;
9. List at the very end of the resume your interests which should include travel experiences, language skills, social interactions such as golf, team sports, tennis, etc.

In conclusion, the above helpful hints were designed to allow ease of scanning of your resume into PDF which can then be text captured for seach purposes by your potential employer. If the original resume was created in Word, WordPerfect or Mac Appleworks, it can be Saved As a PDF file which then can be saved as an email attachment. Otherwise, you can simply use a scanner and scan a hard copy of the resume and then save as a PDF file.

Failure to conform the resume to appropriate fonts and styles as outlined above will result in rejection of the resume simply due to the inability of the scanning device to properly index relevant resume entries.

Good luck!
