Internships
Summer and placement schemes open early and close as soon as they are full. This track gets you application ready before the rush.
One payment. No subscription. Keep the modules and templates for good.
Includes lifetime access to three drop-ins a week, live Zoom prep sessions, the WhatsApp jobs channel, our yearly in-person event, and your Emplify certificate.
Who this track is for. You want a summer internship, a placement year, or a spring week, and you are applying against people who have done this before.
What is inside
-
How internships actually work
Deadlines, rolling applications and what happens after you press send.
- When schemes open, and why applying in October beats applying in January
- Rolling recruitment: why a strong late application still loses to an average early one
- What each stage is really testing, from screening to assessment centre
- How long it takes to hear back, so you stop refreshing your inbox
-
Your CV
One page that works when your experience is school, sport and a Saturday job.
- The layout recruiters read in six seconds, and what they skip
- Turning shifts, coursework and clubs into evidence of skill
- Writing a bullet point as action plus result, with numbers where you have them
- Getting past automated screening without stuffing keywords
- What to cut: hobbies, photos, full addresses, references on request
-
Your cover letter
Short, specific and clearly not copied from a template.
- The three paragraph structure: why them, why you, what next
- Researching a company properly in fifteen minutes
- Naming the exact thing about the role that made you apply
- Reusing eighty percent and rewriting the twenty percent that matters
- How to sound like yourself rather than a chatbot
-
Online assessments and HireVue
The tests and recorded interviews most people meet first and prepare for last.
- Numerical, verbal, logical and situational judgement tests, and how each is scored
- Practice sets with worked answers so you learn the pattern, not the question
- Game based assessments: what they measure behind the graphics
- Video interviews: lighting, framing, eye line and what to do with your hands
- How the thirty seconds to prepare and two minutes to answer format works, and how to use it
-
Interviews
Answers built from your own life, not from a list you found online.
- Building STAR answers from things you have genuinely done
- The questions that come up nearly every time, and strong answers to each
- Competency, motivational and technical questions, and how to tell them apart
- Weaknesses, gaps and failures, answered without a cliche
- Questions to ask them that show you did the reading
-
Make yourself stand out
What makes an employer remember you out of four hundred applicants.
- Small projects and certificates that prove the skill instead of claiming it
- Insight days, open days and spring weeks, and how to get on them
- Speculative applications to firms that never advertise
- Getting a reference from a manager or teacher that says something specific
-
After the interview
The part nearly everyone skips.
- A thank you email that adds something rather than just saying thanks
- When to send it, and who to send it to
- Chasing a decision politely when the date they gave you passes
- Turning a rejection into feedback, and sometimes into a second chance
