My summer internship ends on the 31st of July, can I just say it ends in August on my CV and application portals when I rerecruit? Having an internship from Jun-Jul might not look good

Based on the most helpful WSO content, it is generally acceptable to adjust the dates slightly on your CV to avoid gaps or make the timeline appear more seamless, as long as it doesn't misrepresent your experience. For example, if your internship ends on July 31st, you could list it as ending in August. This is a common practice, especially when the overlap or adjustment is minimal and doesn't mislead about the actual duration or responsibilities of the internship.

Yes until you get a BG check and the dates flag. One day will be ok but just be ready for that.
