Internship

First, prepare your CV carefully. Basic information such as your personal details, education and relevant work experience should be there. Please make sure you fill the gaps between the years.
Check the spelling and grammar. Try to fit everything in 2 pages maximum. Print on a white clean A4 size paper.

Then write your covering letter. Use appropriate salutation. Please also describe the job you would like to do, tell why you need the internship, how your contribution would effect the business and vice-versa. It is also worth mentioning if you got any outstanding exam results or you have done relevant projects at school. Put the CV and the covering letter in a presentable envelope, type the name and address of the company correctly with the reply address and send it to the employer.

There is not much to write if you are a fresh grad. You are lucky if you get invited for an interview where you get the opportunity to meet face to face with the employer. Then you try your best to convince them what a good intern you will be. So can you see how important it is to prepare your CV?

(Dearest Michelle, this is especially written for you. Best of luck in your internship hunting.)

You sound like a big sister or an aunt, Mia ;)
BTW, is MM time used here? You got me thoroughly confused :D

Ma Nu Thwe> You are absolutely right. I am a big sis and an aunt. I have no idea which time I am using. How does it work? Thanks for your visit. :)
