The decision to try to land an advertising, paralegal, media or journalism internship is valid because, let’s face it, internships are basically a necessity in 2013. The first hurdle in getting your foot on the ladder and standing apart from the herd is getting your resume noticed.
This awesome bunch of creatives have already done the ground-work for you. Simply take an idea found here and put your own spin on it. Just do whatever you have to do to land your dream position. If you’re looking for a social media internship, show your employers you mean business by creating a resume in homage to Facebook or Pinterest.
You could opt to combine your work passions and hobbies by printing your resume on your favorite guitar, or some good old-fashioned bribery by sending your prospective employer your resume printed around a candy bar. Whichever idea your run with, these crafty curriculum vitaes will get you noticed.
