CV examples for internship, MT and graduate applications (with real accepted CVs, 2026)

Most "CV examples" online are templates: an empty layout with invented content. A template shows you what a CV looks like, not whether it works.

An accepted CV tells you something else: this document got through a specific company's applicant tracking system, a recruiter's few-second first look and the stages after that, for a specific programme. If you are applying to the same programme, seeing which experience was brought forward, how projects were described and how long the document was tells you more than any template can.

The Grad Network is where graduates who got hired using Proyo share the CVs they were accepted with:

• Real, accepted CVs: Not invented examples — the document the accepted person actually used.
• Verified workplaces: Graduates verify where they work.
• Privacy: Contact details are never shown.
• Companies: Proyo graduates work at companies including Borusan Cat, Doğuş Teknoloji, Eaton, the European Patent Office, Fresenius Medical Care, ICON, Rabobank and Related Digital.

The Grad Network opens with a free Proyo account. When you look at a posting on your application board, you also see Proyo graduates from the same university, the same company or a similar role, where there is a match.

Look for these when you read CVs in the Grad Network — they are also what hiring research and career centres emphasise:

• A simple, single-column layout. In Ladders' eye-tracking study, recruiters spent an average of 7.4 seconds on an initial CV screen; simple layouts with clear sections and headings did well, multi-column and cluttered ones did poorly.
• Accomplishment statements with numbers. Harvard's resume guide recommends accomplishment statements with measurable results rather than lists of duties: not "prepared the club's sponsorship pack" but "grew the club budget 40% with 3 new sponsors".
• Ordered for the posting. The most relevant experience goes first. Rather than sending the same CV everywhere, change what leads for each posting.
• Text an ATS can read. 97.8% of Fortune 500 companies use an applicant tracking system. Use standard headings ("Experience", "Education", "Skills"), selectable text, and keywords that match the posting and are backed by your experience.
• Usually one page. One page is the common expectation for students and new graduates.

The skeletons below are illustrative and do not belong to a real person; they show layout and bullet writing. The real, accepted CVs are in the Grad Network.

Internship CV example (second year, industrial engineering)

• Summary: Second-year industrial engineering student interested in data analysis and process improvement, looking for a summer internship.
• Education: University, degree, expected graduation year, GPA (if strong).
• Projects: "Built a simulation model of queueing at the campus cafeteria; the proposed till layout cut modelled waiting time by 18%."
• Clubs and volunteering: "Ran logistics for the industrial engineering club's 120-person career day."
• Skills: Excel, Python (basic), SQL (basic); English (B2).

MT application CV example (final year, business)

• Summary: Final-year business student with two internships in sales and marketing, looking for a rotational MT programme.
• Experience: "During a long-term internship, turned regional sales data into a weekly report that became standard in team meetings."
• Leadership: "As club president, organised 8 events a year with a 30-person team."
• Education, skills, languages.

No-experience graduate CV example

• Summary: With no work experience, lead with your three strongest things: final-year project, an internship or club role, and one skill.
• A projects section stands in for experience: Describe the final-year project like a job — the problem, what you did, the result.
• Certificates and courses: Only the relevant ones.

English CV example (for international programmes)

• English headings: Summary, Education, Experience, Projects, Skills, Languages.
• Date and grade formats suited to the target country; most international applications don't expect a photo or date of birth.
• Example bullet: "Built a Python script that automated weekly inventory reports, saving the team about 3 hours a week."

1. Build your base CV: by chatting, or by uploading your existing CV. What's parsed from an upload never overwrites what you typed yourself.
2. Read the Grad Network: look at CVs accepted into the programme you want.
3. Pick a posting: from Proyo's feed, from LinkedIn with one click through the Chrome extension, or by pasting a link.
4. Tailor: the AI rearranges your CV for that posting in 15–20 seconds and makes it ATS-friendly — single column, selectable text, standard headings, the posting's own wording where your CV supports it. It never adds anything that isn't in your CV, and you decide what stays.

For each new application you repeat steps 3 and 4; every posting gets its own CV, with no extra effort.
