Campus template

Amelia Hartwell, Politics Undergraduate

Amelia Hartwell is a politics undergraduate seeking an internship in policy or constituency work. The resume shows how campaign volunteering and a society committee post can fill an experience section before a first job.

Why this resume works

  • The summary states the internship being sought and the three skills offered, which is the right length and focus for a student applying to a busy office.
  • The committee role is quantified by events run, attendance, membership growth and grant funding secured, which reads as management experience.
  • Campaign volunteering is written as canvassing, event organisation and policy research, three transferable duties rather than a single line.
  • Education lists coursework, a research project and A-level grades, and the skills include the campaign software a political office actually uses.
