How can a student write a resume for an internship?

You should create a master draft resume that contains all of your education and project experience in one document to get started. With limited experience, it might be a good idea to start a work portfolio that provides details of any projects you have worked on. From this, you can select a few key projects to discuss in more detail on the resume.

The revised draft should now include a profile summary, professional experience, and skills section tailored to the job you are applying for. You will want to write a strong profile objective that covers your background and career goals as a student to get started.

For example, "As a Student Graphic Designer to assist the Marketing Team in all graphic design functions including design layout and production, image retouching, photo editing, optimizing graphics for web and social media, etc."

The education section is a great opportunity to highlight some core academic achievements and specific projects you may have worked on. If you have a good GPA, include that and any relevant courses you did well in.

Include work experience only if relevant; working a summer at a pizza shop is not what a hiring manager wants to see. Instead, include any internship experience. You can also mention projects from your work portfolio.
