Take the internship. Your resume will be gold with the experience. How many internships before graduating? A lot of students can have a good GPA, great extra curriculum activities, leadership etc etc How many internships do I need to be considered competetive?
Assume that all of the experiences are at least somewhat relevant. I am an undergrad. Thanks in advance for your responses :. Hard to believe you have a ridiculous number of relevant internships, but I guess it would depend on what industry you're pursuing.
I would say focus on the most relevant 3 and add in some leadership. Admin - someone change this guy's username and remove the file it has all his personal info on it. Yeah man take all the personal info out. It should fit 1 page so you need to trim it a lot. Education should be first before any experience. Agreed with above. Having said that, there are many issues with your resume.
It should not be more than 1 page, and I am pretty surprised you did not already know that. You don't need to put literally everything you did for each position. Keep it short and concise, and only list the relevant items for each position. Keep it to one page, if this landed on my desk I would throw it out simply because it is so damn long. I appreciate all your feedback question is how do i shrink it down to 1 page considering i have lots of internship experience.
How many intern experiences are optimal, before graduation? Until now, I've only worked once at a MM boutique for six months this year.

The upcoming winter break is my last one before next year's graduation. If I don't either decide to work or get a chance to work, I was planning to study more on finance and read some books.
And, I'm also planning for a short trip abroad, since I haven't had the chance to go overseas during my university life. In short, I just want to take a breeze and have some free time before I graduate next year. Given your situation, you won't really get a "true" internship if you do weeks over the winter break.

Thanks for the comments. I did apply for several places, yet haven't received any calls. While more than one internship would be ideal, it isn't critical.
However, even having a week internship from this winter on your resume would be helpful, but won't your FT applications be finished before you get the winter internship anyways? The 3 week internship probably isn't going to make or break your application. My vote would be to enjoy your last break, do the travel you want and then just network. Making a connection with someone will go a lot further to getting you a job than a 3 week internship over your last winter break.
You may never have three straight weeks off again until retirement I have to be honest I have had like 4 internships and 3 jobs during my undergrad.

Therefore, applying to only two or three will give you abysmal chances. Given that, regardless of how confident you are or how much of a perfect candidate you are, applying to only a few will be a mistake. Not sending a cover letter. Not including a cover letter with your resume is a common mistake that can land you in the discard pile.
