How to sound confident without overstating
Do not try to inflate experience into something it was not. Instead, describe what you actually contributed, what you learned, and what kind of work you are ready for next.
Why presentation matters even more early on
When experience is limited, the structure of the resume matters more. A clean page helps recruiters see potential instead of focusing on what is missing.
