<p>If one does an internship for credit in college, would that be listed on the resume or left off becuase it would show up somewhere on the transcript?</p>
<p>I’d say, claim all the experience that is relevant. Put it on the resume and describe it; don’t assume a line on a transcript (if someone even looks at that) is sufficient. Go for it.</p>
<p>List on resume.</p>
<p>Definitely list it. It stands out as experience.</p>
<p>Some (many - maybe most) hiring managers never actually get or read a transcript. I do get the transcript for an applicant but transcripts are fairly cryptic in how they list the courses/credits, etc. with the use of a lot of abbreviations and they’re just line items. Some managers who do read the transcript will only really scan the grades and a ballpark of the courses taken and won’t pay attention to every detail. A for credit internship could easily be missed if just relying on the transcript and even then it’ll have almost no detail.</p>
<p>When it’s listed independently one can include a bit there about the position, job duties, etc.</p>
<p>As a hiring Manager seeing an Internship listed for credit is one thing, a good thing but it really doesn’t mean much to me.</p>
<p>I would prefer to see it on your resume with a description of what you actually did. Internships can vary greatly depending on what, when and where. I want to see what you gained and learned through the internship. I just can’t tell that from a transcript.</p>
<p>A transcript comes much later in the application process than does a review of a resume. So list it.</p>
<p>I would list it on the resume because it’ll go into detail on what your job responsibilities were exactly and what relevant skills you learned/used in that position. </p>
<p>Also, maybe I just haven’t applied to the right places, but none of my potential employers have yet to ask me for a transcript.</p>
<p>
Good point. I only ask for and read the transcript of candidates who have already passed the review I did of the resume and who I think may be a contender. This is all the more reason for it to be on the resume and not rely on the transcript.</p>
<p>Resume. 10 char.</p>
<p>Sorry. I didn’t make this clear. This is for the grad school application process.</p>
<p>^^ My response was for a job app so I don’t know whether what I said or not applies for a grad school app but it seems that making it more prominent would only help and not hurt.</p>
<p>Agree. If there is something about this that makes her hesitate, she could categorize it as internship experience. Personally, I wouldn’t miss the chance to describe it and show the relevance. Even if it’s something very common, it’s her experience.</p>
<p>She has been incredibly lucky with two prestigious internships, but she received credit, so we weren’t sure if it was somehow inappropriate to list it in both places.</p>
<p>I would side with listing both places because as others have said, the resume gives her a chance to outline her responsibilities and skills used/developed. The transcript is just a one line that may not even give the name or title of the position – and even if it does, it won’t give any details. Schools will not think that is odd or “double dipping” in some way.</p>
<p>
When she lists the internships she could always note that they were ‘for credit’ so it’s clear.</p>
