Adding Fall 2017 Politics Internship to Resume for SA 2018 Recruiting?
Hi everyone,
I'll be starting a politics and public affairs internship this semester as a junior. My questions is: should I already add this to my resume? A lot of recruiting for SA 2018 positions will be well underway by the beginning of my internship. After getting my resume reviewed by a faculty member, it was described as having too much "politics" on it for a finance resume. We re-worked it, so I'm a little bit hesitant of adding this since it will be the most blatant political role I've held. Despite this, it isn't campaign work or anything. For reference, I've only interned in fall semesters in college. Thank you for the feedback.
No. You can't list something you haven't actually done. That's the resume equivalent of saying "Incoming XYZ analyst at BB" on LinkedIn. You could mention it on interview calls, but I doubt they'd care much.
Thanks. When I do start next month, should I add it?
I wouldn't add it until you're at least a month in and can put up maybe 2 reasonable bullet points
Thanks! I'm just a bit worried because without the politics internship, my last job was fall of last year. Then again this one won't be finance, and could crowd it too much.
