How do you write a good internship application?

A good internship application quickly shows why your education, projects and way of working fit the company's placement. Respond directly to the listing instead of sending the same general text everywhere.

01

Start with the listing

Mark the most important tasks and requirements. Then choose experiences that demonstrate something relevant, even if they come from school, a personal project or a previous job.

02

Explain what you did

One concrete example is stronger than several personality words. Explain the situation, your own responsibility and the result in a few sentences.

  • What was the problem or goal?
  • What were you personally responsible for?
  • Which tools or knowledge did you use?
  • What was the result and what did you learn?
03

Check the whole application

Make sure your profile is current, links open and the correct files are attached. Read the answers once more and remove anything that does not help the company assess you.
