CV preparation.

How can I write a good CV/Resume to get into a summer internship? Do you have any templates or suggestions?

Don't use a fancy template, they just tell an employer you are hiding lack of content in flash presentation. Just use a Word doc, plain text, no pictures or flourishes. Have 3 sections covering Education, Experience and Interests. Use bullet points that begin with a relevant verb and the rest of the bullet point gives scale and scope to what you did.

Tailor each CV to each specific role. Jobs are different, even the same job title with different companies, and competition is high. Even getting one bullet point that seems more relevant than another application can give you the edge. Use the language of the job advert as a guide.

Always write a covering letter to accompany the CV, even if it isn't asked for. The CV is the evidence part of the application, the covering letter is the persuasive element. They should be considered inseparable parts of the whole.

This is super useful advice! by tailoring the CV to each role, should we also change the experiences for each? I read that the tasks included in the bullet points can change too. Is this a good idea? Thanks!
