Julia Andersen's Journalism Undergraduate resume in the Aurora template

Example 1 of 2 · Aurora template

Julia Andersen, Journalism Undergraduate

Julia Andersen is a journalism undergraduate with campus reporting, a newsroom internship and a research assistant post behind her. The resume is written for an entry-level reporting role and is heavier on measured readership than most student resumes.

Why this resume works

  • Three positions are listed, which shows that a student can fill a full experience section from part-time and short-term work.
  • Every bullet attaches a percentage to the work, whether readership, engagement or an error-free publication rate.
  • The research assistant role connects data work to article reach, which is a differentiator in a newsroom that values data journalism.
  • Eight skills are listed as tags and include AP style and video production, so the resume matches both print and multimedia job ads.

Maya Lindqvist's Journalism Student resume in the Scholar template

Example 2 of 2 · Scholar template

Maya Lindqvist, Journalism Student

Maya Lindqvist is a final-year journalism student with an editorial internship at a regional daily and a staff-writer role on the campus paper. The resume is written for a first newsroom job and shows how to present published work when there is no full-time employment yet.

Why this resume works

  • The summary names the two publications and the formats covered (print, audio, short documentary), then states the role being sought.
  • The internship bullets give an article count by type, which turns an internship into a record of published output.
  • The campus role is written as a weekly commitment with pitching, editing and proofreading duties, so it reads as journalism rather than a hobby.
  • The education entry carries a GPA, dean's list honours and relevant coursework, which is where a student resume should put its evidence.
