I think that an impressive CV when you're starting out demonstrates your positive attitude and proactivity... so that might include your hobbies , volunteering or part-time work.
And if you can talk about the things you did - such as having an idea and organising a group of people to do it - you can demonstrate your enthusiasm and personal skills. When you are looking for internships and are at the start of your career your CV needs to display your potential and your attitude and approach.... Good luck.

Hi Yara! Congrats! Cybersecurity is a very well-known and sought out career these days. Before starting your resume, I would advise you to read some sample resumes present online to give you an idea of the skills/trainings/day to day work involved in this field. Once you have that idea and some good resume templates you can start creating your own resume. Do include a summary and mention about your passion and interest for cybersecurity. Do some research on trainings and courses which are well known and required in this field. So you can enroll yourself in future to gain an edge in this industry. Also talk to people and read some articles/books to gain more knowledge/different perspectives. Check training institutes/colleges to pursue this particular career. All the best!!! you'll do great.
