FIP Resume Requirements

The Falcon Internship Program requires all participants to use the official FIP Resume Template and to submit their resumes for review from our staff as part of the Internship Eligibility Pathway. To get started, create your student account at LoneStar.edu/Symplicity and click the Pathways tile on the home page.

The Official FIP Resume Template

Our official resume template is based on industry standards and optimized for use with ATS software. This template is used for all resumes that are submitted to our employer partners. Students are also encouraged to use this template for other jobs or internships.

The following components are also mandatory for all resumes submitted for internships with the Falcon Internship Program:

• Name, phone number, and email address
• A LinkedIn profile link
• Education and Skills sections
• Work experience, if any
• Current GPA

How to Create Your Resume

To create your own resume using the FIP template, we recommend using the free Resume Builder tool on the Falcon Internship Program student portal at LoneStar.edu/Symplicity. The resume builder has some great features that make resume writing easier:

• An example library of skills, action words, and sample bullets curated by our staff
• Automatic formatting to perfectly match our official template
• Enhanced resume feedback from our staff
• Export options for use outside of the Symplicity system

You should use the Resume Builder if:

• You are a current student or alumnus of Lone Star College
• You intend to complete the eligibility requirements and apply for an internship through the Falcon Internship Program
• You do not have access to the desktop version of Microsoft Word
• You struggle with formatting using Microsoft Word

If you prefer to download an editable version of the template, you can find a Microsoft Word download of the template here. Note that this document is only intended for use with the desktop version of Microsoft Word and opening this file in the browser version of Word or in Google Docs/Apple Pages may lead to unpredictable formatting errors.
