What makes an internship email work
| Do | Avoid |
|---|---|
| Short, under 150 words | Long life stories |

| A real project with a link | Only listing certificates |
| Clear availability | Vague "any opportunity" requests |
Stand out with a small idea
Add one small, useful idea for the company, like a content idea for their Instagram or a quick SEO fix you noticed. It shows initiative and gives them a reason to reply. Keep it brief and polite.
