How to put internship on resume before starting?

Hi all,

I'm a rising junior and I have an internship lined up for this summer that hasn't started yet. I know a lot of apps for IB 2018 SA has opened already, and many of which are rolling based. Should I be including my upcoming internship onto my resume? If so, what exactly should I be putting down, since I haven't even set foot into the office yet?

EDIT: Alright, I'm probably just going to just put the company and my position as incoming on the resume. Thanks!!

I think there's a bit more time before the BBs open up their apps (July 15 for Goldman and JPM I think), so you don't have to worry about it quite yet; that said, you could just list it and say "will" in front of everything for clarity.

I talked to a recruiter at a bulge-bracket about this exactly, and she said to list it as you normally would but put Incoming in parenthesis next to the title. That's what I did, I also don't have any descriptions/bullets yet because I'm not sure what my exact projects will be.

 

There are a few good threads on this topic already. I was talking to a director at BAML Lev Fin and he said just to do it, just make sure its clear that you are incoming and make sure to update them with a new resume.

 

Would it be strange to simply put "Europe" as the location of the internship? I am interning at very small regional division of a known boutique and as I am applying to London, it is likely that somebody knows someone from that division, which I want to avoid.
