Sample 1 Sample 2 Sample 3 Additional Tips: As a junior or senior searching for an internship, it is preferable to put Education first on your resume.  List the name of your degree spelled out "Bachelor of Arts in Communications."  List Emphasis: and Minor:  GPA: along with Awards, Scholarships, Extracurricular activities, Membership in professional organizations, Related Courses (if no experience shows up on the resume), etc. You can add a category--Related Experience to display your experience gained in class projects where you have worked with an actual client and completed real-life assignments--such as a public relations campaign, advertising campaign, experience at NewsNet, The Daily Universe, etc. Use present tense verbs for experience you are still involved with and past tense verbs for experience you've completed.  Use terminology relevant to your field of study.  Use professional phrasing to show competency in writing.  Match your experience to each requirement in the job description if possible and put the matching experience as the first item so it is seen in the first screening. For a one-on-one critique of your resume and cover letter, call the Internship and Career Services office for an appointment with the director, (9801) 422-6846.
