How should I explain a short internship that ended early on my consulting resume?
- Work Experience
I had an internship that ended several weeks early because the project was cancelled. I still did meaningful work, but the dates may look unusual. Should I explain the shortened internship on the resume, or only address it if someone asks?

I built a recommendation during an internship, but the company did not implement it before I left. I still did the analysis and presented to leadership. How can I show impact without claiming results that never happened?

Mayank G.CoachA remote internship is not automatically weaker. Recruiters care more about the substance of the work, the level of responsibility and the evidence of impact than whether you sat in the same building as your team.

- Work Experience
My title is in operations, but I spent about four months on a cross-functional strategy project for senior leadership. Can I position that as relevant consulting experience even though it was not my formal role?

Mayank G.CoachYes. Recruiters care about the work you actually did, not only the label on your business card. A meaningful strategy project can be strong evidence if your contribution was real and you can explain the scope clearly.
