No FT offer due to Covid. How to put it on CV?

Hi everyone,

Here's the thing: I've finished my internship and feedbacks have always been positive. Analysts and associates I was working with were all pretty confident I would have been offered a FT position.

At the end of the internship, everything seemed okay and I said hello to everyone pretty sure I'd have come back with the offer.

Fast forward it a couple of weeks: I got told that the team really wanted me and all feedbacks were positive but due to Covid and current business situations they were not able to offer me FT.

As such, a bit sad (but that's life), I'm now looking for other opportunities and I was wondering how to put this story on my CV.

I don't want people to think I was not able to secure an offer, as this is not the truth, but on the other hand I can't say I got the offer as I don't have the offer.

How would you list this thing in your resume?

Thanks

I dont get it. Why cant you put it down like your other internships? Do you put down that you got a return offers for everything else on your resume?
