- Curiosity

Questions
What if I have no relevant experience for an internship?
Use class projects, clubs and part-time work, focusing on skills that transfer: communication, analysis, organisation, tools.
Should I include a cover letter?
If the application allows it, a short tailored letter helps interns stand out.
