Student CV: Internships, Placements and Part-Time Jobs

5 min read

Most students have more to show than they think: a summer job, an internship, coursework projects, a student society or a semester on Erasmus. The trick is to describe these experiences specifically and arrange them for the job you are applying for.

Where to start

If you are looking for your very first job and have nothing to list yet, see our guide to writing a CV with no experience. This article is for students who already have something behind them, such as casual work, an internship, projects or student activities, and want to present it well.

Start by listing everything you have done since you began your degree. Note the dates, the place, your tasks and what came of them. From that list it is easy to pick the 3–5 strongest points for each application instead of including everything.

List experience starting with the most recent. If you worked alongside your studies, you do not need to explain it: the recruiter will see it from the dates and usually reads it as proof of good time management.

How to list a degree in progress

Put your current degree under education with the start date and expected graduation date, for example: “University of Economics in Krakow, BA Finance and Accounting, 10/2023 – 06/2026 (expected)”. The recruiter knows straight away what stage you are at and when you could work full-time.

Add your specialisation and 2–4 modules or projects relevant to the job. For a data analysis role, mention statistics, econometrics and a Python project rather than your whole timetable. You can leave out secondary school unless it is directly related, such as a technical school in IT.

If you study part-time, at weekends or in the evenings, say so. For an employer looking for someone during the working week, that is useful information in your favour.

Casual and seasonal work counts

Working in a café, picking fruit, staffing a helpline or running activities at a summer camp is real work experience. List it under experience with the employer's name, dates and, if you like, a note that it was a summer job.

Describe it through skills that will matter in the new role. Instead of “worked on the till”, write: “Served customers and operated the till during the summer season, about 150 transactions per shift, cashed up at the end of the day.” That shows responsibility for money, pace and customer contact.

Internships, placements and university projects

Compulsory placements are often treated as an afterthought, yet they are usually a student's most job-relevant experience. Describe them like a normal job: what you did day to day, which software you used and what you achieved. For example: “Prepared invoice summaries in Excel and an ERP system, reconciled balances with suppliers.”

Group projects, coursework and hackathons can go in a separate Projects section. For each one give the goal, your role, the tools and the outcome, for example: “Room booking app in React and Node.js, team of 4, responsible for the backend and database.” If the project is public, add a link to the repository or portfolio. Do not hide a short placement: one well-described month in an accounts team says more than a vague line about “gaining experience”.

Societies, student union, volunteering and Erasmus

Membership of an academic society shows interest in your field and the ability to work on a project. Say what the society did and what you contributed: a talk at a student conference, a survey, organising workshops.

The student union and student organisations give you experience in running events, managing budgets and negotiating. A line like “Coordinated a team of 12 volunteers during freshers' week for 300 new students” says more than a job title alone. Describe volunteering the same way, with the scale and your tasks.

List Erasmus or another study period abroad under education as a separate entry with the university and semester. Show the results under skills: your language level, modules taught in a foreign language, work in an international project team. If you worked or did an internship while abroad, list it under experience like any other job, with the company and country.

Grades: when to include them

Your grade average is worth including when it is high and you are applying for an internship, a placement at a large company or a graduate scheme, where recruiters often ask for it. Scholarships and awards are worth listing too, as they are concrete proof of results.

If your grades are average, simply leave them out. Nobody expects them on a CV for a shop assistant or waiter job, and for internships it is better to focus on projects and skills. If you are asked at the interview, answer honestly.

CV for an internship vs CV for a part-time job

A CV for an internship should show a link to your degree and a willingness to learn. Open with a short summary, for example: “Third-year logistics student with a placement at an e-commerce warehouse, looking for an internship in transport planning from July 2026.” Put education, projects and placements near the top and casual jobs lower down.

A CV for a part-time job is arranged differently. Availability, experience in similar work and reliability are what count. Put experience first and state your availability in the summary or contact details, for example: “Available Tuesdays, Thursdays and weekends; full-time during the summer break.”

In both cases, match the content to the advert: use the words from the requirements and leave out what is unrelated to the role. If you want several versions quickly, paste the advert into the CV builder on our site and get a CV arranged for that job.

Skills and CV length

In the skills section, list specific tools and language levels: “Excel (pivot tables, charts), Canva, basic SQL, English C1, German A2.” Avoid generic words like “communicative” unless your experience gives an example that proves it.

Include hobbies only if they say something relevant about you: running a personal finance blog, refereeing amateur league matches, training for a marathon. One line is enough.

A student CV should fit on one page. If you have more material, choose what fits the job best and save the rest for the interview. Add a data processing clause if the employer requires one, and send the file as a PDF.

Questions and answers

How do I put an unfinished degree on my CV?

Give the university, course, degree level, start date and expected graduation date marked “expected”. You can add your specialisation and a few modules or projects relevant to the job.

Should students put their grades on a CV?

Yes, if they are strong and you are applying for an internship, placement or graduate scheme. For casual or part-time work grades rarely matter. You do not have to list an average result.

Should I include seasonal work on my CV?

Yes. Seasonal and casual work shows responsibility, punctuality and customer contact. Describe it through specific tasks and scale, such as the number of customers or transactions you handled.

How do I list Erasmus on my CV?

Add it under education as a separate entry: university, country, semester. Show the results, such as your language level or work in an international team, in the skills section or project descriptions.

How long should a student CV be?

One page. Pick the experiences that best match the job and keep the rest for the interview. A short, specific CV is quicker to read than a long list of every activity.
