- Highlight teamwork. Mention group projects where you shared progress, asked for help early, gave and received feedback, or helped meet a deadline.
- Tailor the cover letter. Explain why the Synthesis internship matters to you, what you hope to learn, and how the company fits your career plan. Use one or two concrete examples of curiosity or technical ability.
- List only skills you can discuss. Add programming languages, databases, cloud platforms, data‑analysis tools, testing methods, etc., that you have actually used.
- Provide a portfolio link. If you have a GitHub repository or personal website, include the URL and ensure the projects work and are described clearly.
- Use professional file names. For example, “Thabo-Mokoena-CV.pdf” and “Thabo-Mokoena-Transcript.pdf”.
- Apply early. Submitting a few days before the deadline gives you time to fix any technical issues.
