If you've got 5-10 years experience at the executive level, that merits a change from the norm of 1 page resumes.

Anyone that is internship hunting should never exhaust more than one page, at that level you need to condense, change font, or possibly remove less important items if you cannot reach the 1 page limit.

 

To echo what everyone else is saying, unless you've got a wealth of FULL TIME experience and have some more senior experience as well, keep your resume to one page. I stress full time, because I have been asked about 2 pages since people might have a few internships and volunteer positions they want to address in full detail - DON'T. Keep it to 1 page and focus on that which is most relevant to IB - leave the rest out if you are out of room. Also, you can feel free to leave out the Objective section, the Summary section and so forth often found at the tops of the resumes. With a 1 page resume, you do not need a summary section - it is already a summary. And you do not need an objective section - if you are applying for an IB position, that should be your objective.

mlibrettThe reason I am asking is because I am going to have 4 internships by the time I graduate. There's no way I can fit all four on my resume.. They are all from legit firms. I understand I'm not going to get an IBD position but I'm trying my best to get into a trading position and it's hard to omit any of the internships

Then adjust the margins and the font size to get them on one page.

2 pages will get thrown out at this stage....ask any recruiter
