Internship CV: How to use it

Are you looking for an internship and feeling a little lost ? Don't panic, you're not alone! We know that this stage can look like a mountain to climb... but the first step is your CV. 📝

An internship CV is not a CV like any other: often, you do not yet have "official" professional experience in your field. And that's normal! What recruiters want to see is your motivation, your potential, and how you highlight everything you've already learned or experienced.

So breathe, we're with you! With this little instruction manual, you will have all the cards in hand to build a CV that catches the eye and that will allow you to get the internship that suits you. Ready? Here we go 👇

1. Start with a business email address

It may seem trivial, but an email address is the first piece of information a recruiter sees. A fanciful or overly personal address can discredit you even before your CV is read. Opt for a simple and professional address, such as prenom.nom@email.com.

👉 Tip: If your name is already taken, add a sober number (your year of birth, for example) rather than a nickname. Nothing is more embarrassing for a recruiter than to come across lapinou07@email.com (even if it's very cute). This detail already shows that you take your candidacy seriously.

2. Give your resume a clear title

An untitled CV is like a film without a poster: you don't know what it's about. The title should immediately give your purpose and your field.

Example: "Digital marketing student - Looking for an internship in social media management (3 months from March 2025)".
