Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the expected length for my resume?
During the course of their internships, our interns get real feedback to see how they are going and what a longer-term career with us (or in cybersecurity generally) may look like for them
What information should I include on my resume?
All the usual important stuff like education, expected graduation, skills, tools, programming languages, relevant courses and experience.
Emphasise information that you feel is relevant to your application with us. Tell us how you’ve used your skills by incorporating them into the experience section on your resume. Focus on accomplishments rather than duties and try to include both quantitative and qualitative metrics that may be a measure of the impact you made.
Don’t forget to include the best contact information (phone number and email) through which we can contact you.
How should my resume look?
We recommend sticking to standard font sizes and using no more than 2 colours for clean formatting that captures your experiences. PDF or .doc are preferred formats. Be sure to proof-read and spell check your resume!
We prefer chronological resumes than overviews of experience so we can see when you accomplished certain things.
Should I include extracurricular and volunteer work?
Yes! We want to know about the WHOLE you, so absolutely do so and help us get to know you better. Include competitions, hackathons, clubs, and projects you may have been involved in also.
What do you look for in candidates?
We value diversity and individuality of background experience, and believe that is what helps make our organisation strong.
We look for passion, curiosity, innovation, drive, and people who are great to work with. Ideal candidates go above and beyond to grow their skill set and separate themselves from the competition.
Do I need to submit a cover letter?
While cover letters aren’t required, we don’t mind if you do one, as they can help us better understand you and your experience in the context of your application with us.
If you do write one, tell us what interests you about Gridware and the industry we operate in. You won’t be “marked down” if you don’t submit one, because we read each resume that we receive carefully!
What is the availability of internship positions?
At the moment, each Department in Gridware is capable of hosting a number of interns at any one time. However, internship positions are limited subject to certain seasons or when projects require additional support.
Gridware receives a large number of applications for a limited number of positions, so it’s important to apply early and make sure your application stands out.
