Intern resume — templates, keywords, and bullet examples
Intern resumes are the cleanest form of the new-grad resume — even less work history, even more emphasis on Projects and Coursework.
How to angle a intern resume
For your first internship, the Projects section is doing 60% of the work — pick 3 projects that shipped to someone (a website, a tool, a hackathon submission). Each project gets 2 bullets max.
If you have any prior internship, that goes between Education and Projects. Otherwise the order is Education → Projects → Skills → (optional) Activities.
Section order: Education → Projects → (prior internships) → Skills → Activities.
Recommended templates for interns
ATS keywords recruiters filter on
These are the keywords most intern JDs use as their ATS-filter inputs. Make sure the ones you genuinely have evidence for are in your Skills section.
Starter Skills section
Paste this into the Skills section of the editor as a starting point, then prune to what you genuinely have evidence for.
Bullet examples you can adapt
Three starter bullets following the action-verb / quantified-outcome pattern. Replace bracketed placeholders with your actual specifics — never invent.
