Hellooo {{First Name| there}},
Every year, thousands of HR students apply for internships and hear nothing back.
Not because they're not capable. Because they're doing what everyone else is doing — sending the same resume everywhere and hoping someone notices. 😅
The students landing HR internships at top companies right now are doing things differently. Here's exactly what they're doing. 👇

What is an EOR—and why are companies using it?
Opening entities in every country can be slow, expensive, and hard to scale.
That's why more companies are using EOR to hire globally faster.

🎓 5 Tips to Land Your First HR Internship
📄 Build a resume that actually passes ATS
Use action verbs. Quantify everything. "Increased event attendance by 30%" beats "helped organise events." One page, clean format, no heavy graphics. You know how ATS works. Use that knowledge on your own resume.
🗂️ Show work, not just potential
Ran an HR club? Organised a campus recruitment drive? Designed an onboarding process for a fest? That's your portfolio. Document it and show it. Real work beats potential every time.
🎯 Apply smart, not everywhere
20 to 30 targeted applications beats 100 random ones. Customise your resume for each role. One tailored application gets more responses than ten generic ones.
🤝 Use your network before the job board
A senior at your college working somewhere you want to be? Reach out. A LinkedIn connection at an HR team? Send a short, specific message. Referred candidates get hired significantly more often than cold applicants.
📬 Follow up — most students don't
If you don't hear back in 7 to 10 days, send a polite follow-up. Most students apply and wait. The ones who follow up get remembered. It takes 2 minutes and it works.
