Vacancy Portal's Application Tip

For this Software Engineer Intern opportunity, don't make your CV only about your degree. Highlight what you have actually built.

If you have completed university projects, personal applications, websites, APIs, automation scripts or other software projects, briefly explain what you developed, which programming language or technologies you used, and what your contribution was. If you have experience with C#, Java or Python, make those skills easy for the recruiter to identify.

You can also use your CV to demonstrate that you understand software development beyond simply writing code. Examples of testing, debugging, version control, problem-solving and working on projects with other people can help demonstrate your readiness for an engineering environment.
