Is it common for undergraduates to have their own CVs when applying for jobs or internships?

Yes, it’s quite common for undergraduates to have their own CVs (curriculum vitae) or résumés when applying for jobs or internships. In fact, most employers expect students to submit a CV or résumé as part of their application.

Here’s why it’s important:

  1. Showcase Skills and Experiences: A CV allows undergraduates to highlight their academic achievements, relevant coursework, internships, volunteer work, and extracurricular activities.
  2. Professional Presentation: It gives a professional overview of a student’s qualifications and experiences, helping them stand out in the job market.
  3. Tailored Applications: Having a CV ready allows students to tailor it to specific job or internship opportunities by emphasizing relevant experiences and skills.
  4. Networking: A well-prepared CV can also be useful when networking, as it provides a concise summary of one’s qualifications.

Many universities also offer career services to help students create and refine their CVs.
