I received two part-time internship offers for this summer, one from a boutique investment bank and the other one from a boutique consulting firm. Currently, it looks neither wants me to work for more than 15 hrs a week. Will it be ok for me to do both internships at the same time and put them on my resume?
Thank you.





If you can work out the
If you can work out the hours, and there is no conflict of interest between the two parties, then absolutely do it. During school I'd usually have 2 jobs, and if you can only find 2 part time internships, it's better than 1 part time. And if you do work at both, definitely put both down on your resume.

Doesn't that reflect negatively on how intense each internship was? I was in a similar situation where I wasn't sure if I should put both of my summer positions on my resume.
Exactly my thoughts

I'm in a similar situation and its working out okay. Just make sure that they all know whats going on and that you know for sure what their expectations are.
Good luck.

Honestly that sounds like a sick situation to be in. Especially if you're trying to get a taste for what each job is about, I'm personally a bit lost as to what I want to focus on...

You're god damn right it does. Part-time work on wall street is ghetto. Part-time work at a boutique consulting firm? Ghetto as FUCK.
Come to think of it, part-time ANYTHING is a bad idea and is where a lot of losers seem to end up. Examples: Part-time MBA. Working part-time at a restaurant while you take 8 years to finish college because you're afraid to take on student loans. Unless you are a part-time olympic tennis player, don't be such a god damned loser.
Save the part-time work for when you are a 50-year old with millions of dollars who can serve as an "advisor" to a firm and on various boards, for a total of 3.5 hours per month.

Dude, he's part-timing
Dude, he's part-timing because he wants the experience. If you have no experience whatsoever in your previous semesters, you need something to give you an edge.

If a resume comes across my desk with a "part-time internship" on it, I will write "THIS IS WHAT NOT TO DO" at the top of the page, take it to the copy machine, make a couple thousand copies of it, walk into the middle of Times Square, and throw them everywhere.

Well, to the OP, just put "intern" not "part-time intern" and let them figure it out.
