So I will be applying for an entry-level IBD job this fall, and I recently accepted an offer to intern at an independent research firm over the fall. As this will be my only real finance experience before I graduate, it is kind of important to emphasize. However, describing it on my resume will be hard, since I don't actually start the internship until late September (banks recruit at my semi-target~target in October).
My question to you is, How should I present this experience on my resume for now and during October?
P.S. I do have internship experience, but with the government, and not in finance.

It looks a bit wonky to have
It looks a bit wonky to have future dates on your resume under work experience, so best bet is to be very up-front with the fact that it's out in the future and not play up specific job functions too much. Pull a few key phrases from whatever information you've been given as relates to the job description, and be prepared for that to start a conversation with the interviewer only (as opposed to actually demonstrating qualification). Make sure you stay very up-to-date and get into the resume whatever salient details you've developed through the first week or two of the internship, so at least you've got something you can say you did.
i'm math and economics, not
i'm math and economics, not mmss (didn't know about the program until too late). thanks Ballyho, i might put it that way, although it might be kind of presumptuous, and i'm afraid it will detract from the rest of my resume. i'm actually wondering if i should even put it on my resume, or at the most just put a line that says "equity analyst intern..." any further opinions?
