In the following sections we will give you a detailed guide to <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">how to make a resume for internships<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">:<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><b>1. Layout<\/b><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are mainly three types of resume layouts, namely Chronological, Functional, and Combination. Each of these layouts has its purpose, however, the most appropriate layout for a fresher resume is the Functional Layout. This layout highlights the skill section. Thus, it is perfect for those with little to no experience.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><b>2. Contact Details&nbsp;<\/b><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The header of the document has all the information that makes up the contact details. You must have your name, email id, phone number, and address included in this section. The following points need to be remembered:&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ensure that you\u2019re available on the phone number and email ID you\u2019re putting on your resume.&nbsp;<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Use a professional email ID as it will make you look more credible in the eyes of the employer.<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Do not write your complete address, only your locality and city are important.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><b>3. Opening Statement&nbsp;<\/b><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Most students use the common template. But before you copy-paste the same statement it is important to know that there might be a lot of others who would be doing that and it will only decrease your chances to get selected. Though you should not skip it, if you use this space wisely then it may help grab the attention of the employer. Try to mention your skills concisely explaining how you can help the company.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><b>Tips:<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>A.<\/strong> Sum it up in not more than three lines<\/span><\/i><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br><\/span><\/i><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>B.<\/strong> Try to avoid using a personal pronoun.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"512\" height=\"103\" src=\"https:\/\/internshala.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Opening-Statement.png\" alt=\"Opening Statement\" class=\"wp-image-20139\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><b>4.

You can list all of your skills that are relevant to the role you are applying for, in bullets, as it will make it easier for the reviewer to read and understand them. Suppose you\u2019re applying to a web development internship, you can list the skills as follows:<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"512\" height=\"142\" src=\"https:\/\/internshala.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Skills.png\" alt=\"Skills\" class=\"wp-image-20144\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The management students can list the skills that are related to their coursework.

You can also showcase the volunteering that you may have done during your summer breaks or as an extracurricular activity. You can also talk about workshops or college projects that you participated in.
