Take 5 minutes today to make sure your resume stands out in the fall!
,

Your internship is going to be a whirlwind, between work, building relationships with your team, and learning to navigate remote work environments that most of us are facing.  During this time, make sure you keep focused on your ongoing mission - continuing to build your profile within your team(s) and/or the industry you're targeting full-time. Updating your resume real-time this summer will make it easier when fall recruiting begins.
  
The 100 Week Sprint team
To-do's this week
Got 5 minutes? Add your summer internship company and title to your resume and LinkedIn profile (giving you space to track accomplishments).
Got 30 minutes? Email second-years who interned at your company last summer to ask what kinds of projects you might expect to be working on. In addition, scan through your resume to identify 3-4 bullets that might be removed after summer is through.
Got an hour? Go through your resume and identify the bullets/skills that you will update in future iterations of your resume. Start drafting future bullets that you aim to accomplish based on your goals.
Make an outstanding resume later, starting now

As you dive into your internship, make sure you are always considering how the experience you are gaining is going to be worked into your resume. 
 
1. Define the start and finish of your internship project(s):  having a defined beginning and end to your project, along with defined goals, will allow you to point to specific accomplishments. It will also likely increase job satisfaction. Even if what you are working on is open-ended, make sure you have concrete responsibilities for your portion of the project.
