EDUCTION
Once students have identified potential
internship opportunities, the next step is to
prepare and submit their applications. Here are
some tips to help teens navigate the application
process.

3. RESUME
PREPARATION
A well-crafted resume is essential for any
internship application. Students should highlight
their academic achievements, extracurricular
activities, volunteer work, and any previous work
experience. Including relevant skills and
coursework can also strengthen the resume. It’s
important to tailor the resume to each specific
internship by emphasizing experiences and skills
that align with the job description.

4. WRITING A
COVER LETTER
A cover letter provides an opportunity to
showcase a student’s enthusiasm for the
position and explain why they are a good fit.
The cover letter should be concise, well-
written, and personalized for each internship
application. It should highlight key
accomplishments, relevant skills, and explain
how the internship aligns with the student’s
career goals.

5. GATHERING REFERENCES
Most internship applications require
references from teachers, coaches, or
previous employers who can vouch for
the student’s character and abilities.
Students should choose references who
know them well and can speak to their
strengths and work ethic.
It’s a good practice to ask for
references well in advance and
provide them with information
about the internship and any
specific qualities they should
highlight.

6. PREPARING FOR
INTERVIEWS
If an application is successful, the next step is
usually an interview. Students should prepare by
researching the company, understanding the
role, and practicing common interview questions.
Mock interviews with family members, friends, or
school counselors can help build confidence and
improve interview skills. It’s important to dress
appropriately, arrive on time, and be polite and
professional during the interview.

7. FOLLOWING
UP
After submitting an application or attending an
interview, students should follow up with a
thank-you email to express their appreciation for
the opportunity.
This shows professionalism and reinforces their
interest in the position. Following up can also
keep the student’s application top of mind for
the employer.

8. CONCLUSION
Preparing a strong application, including a
well-crafted resume and personalized cover
letter, is crucial for securing an internship.
Once in the role, setting goals, being proactive,
seeking feedback, building relationships,
reflecting on the experience, and maintaining
professionalism are key to maximizing the
benefits of the internship.
