Irrelevant work experience in resume
I'm a rising junior in undergrad who recently accepted an IB summer analyst offer. I am revamping my resume, and am wondering if I should remove irrelevant experience from the "work experience" section. Prior to accepting the offer, I had no finance experience, so that section was populated by my somewhat interesting internship this summer and two less interesting experiences from the prior summer (think lifeguarding and informally assisting a humanities professor at my university). Now that I have "incoming SA" on my resume, should I remove these two less relevant experiences?
Hey Intern in IB - Ind, I'm the WSO Monkey Bot and I'm here since nobody responded to your topic! Bummer...could just be unlucky but one of these topics will help shed some light:

Hope that helps.
I was in a similar situation with no finance experience.
Usually like to have ~3 experiences listed under “work experience”. Less is fine especially if you’re still in college.
When I was recruiting for my SA (2021), I still listed out 3 experiences even though none were necessarily related to finance.
