Why interns need a personal website
The internship is the foot in the door — and everyone is pushing on the same door. When you have almost no professional history to point to, a personal website is how you look serious, specific and worth a shot.
Standing out with almost no experience
Internship applicants are, by definition, light on experience — so recruiters lean on signals of initiative, curiosity and fit. A personal website is one of the strongest signals available: it shows you took the trouble to present yourself well, it frames the coursework and projects you do have, and it gives a coordinator a reason to remember your name in a stack of near-identical applications.
What an intern’s page should show
- Enthusiasm with direction — the field you want in and why.
- Projects that prove you try — classwork, a club, a personal build, a competition.
- Transferable skills — what you’re good at, even from non-work contexts.
- An easy way to reach you — make saying yes effortless.
