Warning! There are misleading messages circulating on social media and whatsapp that are not from us, Jobbsprånget. Our recommendation is not respond or click on them. Official internship listings are only available on our portal. Thank you for your understanding.
More than 3600 foreign academics have done internships through Jobbsprånget. These are our top tips for improving your chances of getting an internship with one of our participating employers
Make sure your CV is short and comprehensive, max 2 pages. Highlight the experiences that are relevant to your profile and the internships you are applying to.
Your cover letter/motivational letter should include the reason why you are interested in the position or the specific company/organisation and why you think you are suited for the role.
Keep in mind that employers prefer a CV and cover letter that is customised to the role you are applying to, not just a standard version or “one size fits all”. Take your time to read the internship ads and adjust both your CV and cover letter.
By sending multiple relevant applications, you will increase your chances of getting an internship.
Therefore, apply to all those internships that you find interesting and relevant to your profile. However, you must not forget to apply in quality – not just quantity. Make sure you tailor your application (including CV & cover letter) to the internship roles you apply to.
If you find an internship role that you’re really interested in but feel that your education background and/or professional experience doesn’t really match the requirements, don’t give up. Try to highlight other skills that might be beneficial for the role.
Make sure you fill out all the necessary fields in the application, and have your CV and cover letter attached to it.
Employers consider applications where the candidate have skills and experiences relevant to the specific role. We have received feedback from employers about the importance of being authentic.
If you decide to add a photo of yourself in your CV, make sure you look professional and presentable in it. Avoid selfies, photos with sunglasses or holiday pictures.
Most Swedish employers will check your LinkedIn profile. Keep it up to date.
Your LinkedIn Profile is your standard or general CV, while your CV for the application needs to be tailored according to the role you apply to.
