It is often quite a nerve-wracking experience to write a resume when you are doing it for the first time.
Since all of us have to begin somewhere, it is essential to give it a go.
Even when you are applying for an internship, your resume does need to do the rounds on a prospective employer’s table.
If you have never written a resume before, it is time you learned how to do this!
Resumes written to obtain internships are a little different from when you write one to get a job.
At this point, you may not have a lot of experience, which is why filling up a resume may be a bit of a task.
Do not worry about it.
Instead of mulling over lack of knowledge, fill up your resume with information about your skills and academic achievements – in sync with what the hiring manager is looking for.
Here is a sample resume that you can use to apply for a biology internship:
