# Career & Internships

For students who want to land internships, build a credible professional presence, and grow a real network. Pick this vertical during setup and Content Forge surfaces career-focused modes that turn a rough update into a polished LinkedIn post, a recruiter DM, or a follow-up that actually gets a reply.

### Who it's for

You're applying for internships or your first role, showing up more intentionally on LinkedIn, or trying to stay in touch with people you meet at career fairs and info sessions. You want to sound like yourself, not like a template. These modes help you write copy that reads confident and clear without ever inflating what you've done.

### Modes

Each mode costs a set number of credits. See [Plans & Credits](/thecontentforge-docs/students/plans-and-credits.md) for how credits work and what your monthly allowance covers.

| Mode                        | Credits | What it produces                                                                                                                               |
| --------------------------- | ------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **LinkedIn Post**           | 1       | One original LinkedIn post (600–1200 characters) - an announcement, a recap, a learning update, or a short thought piece.                      |
| **Internship Announcement** | 1       | A multi-platform announcement for a new internship or role, tuned for LinkedIn, Instagram, and X, with an image prompt.                        |
| **Networking DM**           | 1       | Three DM variants for reaching out - a cold message, a warm intro, and a follow-up.                                                            |
| **Career Fair Follow-up**   | 1       | A follow-up email or DM to send after a career fair, info session, or networking event.                                                        |
| **Professional Bio**        | 2       | A LinkedIn About section, a resume summary, and a short networking bio - written to reflect your experience accurately, never to overstate it. |

### The voice

Career copy should open doors, not raise eyebrows. Everything here is written to sound confident but never cocky. No corporate filler, no buzzword salad, and no claiming years of experience you don't have. Professional Bio in particular is built to describe what you've genuinely done in the strongest honest terms - so a recruiter reads it and believes it.

You stay in control. Treat every draft as a starting point, read it before you post or send it, and adjust anything that doesn't match your real background.

### Working with video

If you're building a career presence on video - a day-in-the-life at your internship, a talk you gave, a project walkthrough - Video Forge includes a career-focused preset pack for student workspaces. It repurposes longer footage into LinkedIn-ready clips. See [Verticals & Generation Types](/thecontentforge-docs/students/verticals.md) for how video presets fit alongside these Content Forge modes.
