Hana Okada, Computer Science Student
Hana Okada is a second-year computer science undergraduate applying for a summer software internship, with two years of teaching code to school students and a year of running STEM events behind her. An internship resume is read for what the student has done outside the lecture hall, so this one gives the volunteer roles their numbers, lists the courses a hiring engineer will recognise, and keeps the societies she holds a post in.
Why this resume works
- The two volunteer roles are headed Volunteer Experience and given figures, 24 students a week, completion up from 60% to 85%, 300 attendees and $8,000 raised, so unpaid work reads as a track record.
- The degree carries its GPA on the dates line and a Relevant courses list of five, which is the part of a student resume a technical screener actually reads.
- Soft skills take the skills section on their own, five of them, because the courses already say what she can code.
- An Organizations section the writer added lists two societies with the post held in italics beneath each, which is where a student shows leadership before a first job.
- Three certificates with their years sit under the societies, evidence of study outside the degree without a claim about it.
