Tips to improve your chances
- Tailor the top section of your CV to the field you are applying for. Highlight numbers and Excel skills for Finance, or system knowledge for IT.
- Show concrete examples of numeracy, analytical thinking, attention to detail and teamwork – these are the core skills Apex looks for.
- Keep your cover letter (if asked) short, focused and free of generic buzzwords.
- Proofread every document. Simple errors can make a recruiter skip your file.
- Avoid third‑party agencies that claim they can get you the internship for a fee. Submit directly through the portal.
