Tips for writing an internship report

It is true that in order to write an internship report, it is absolutely necessary to first draw up a framework of what you want to write by making a plan. You can’t just do it any old way. In this article we will give you our best advice.

Indeed, an internship report is not the easiest thing to write. You will need time, courage and desire. An internship report is always easier to write when you enjoyed your internship and each assignment was interesting. Of course, you may have preferred some things to others, but overall it is better that you enjoyed your internship while learning a lot. An experience like this is always good for your resume and for yourself, because you will discover a completely different environment. You may find that this is definitely not the field you are interested in. But that doesn’t mean you’ll fail! Enough talk, let’s get to work.

Making the plan 

Initially, you can start with a rough draft. Make an outline where you briefly describe each part. Remember that there is always an introduction where you gradually incorporate the company, the initial situation and then you. It should not be more than one page long. After all, it also depends on your school and its expectations, but generally an introduction is no longer than one page in a 20-page report. You can make large parts announcing the general theme and sub-parts concerning a smaller idea to develop. Don’t forget the conclusion, which is important, because it is the last thing the examiner will read. It must remain on a positive note.

With honesty

You must take ownership of your internship report. It should be like your diary, where you briefly recount all the internship assignments you had to perform. Of course, don’t go into too much detail or your report will be too long. Be lively and show the reviewer that this was a beneficial experience for your work experience. If you can, try to be as sincere as possible in your writing.
