Rebecca,

Might I suggest that you visit the HOT JOB TIPS area of Global Museum's
Careers section.  For what it is worth, one can never have too much
experience and I think you should list everything!

best wishes
Roger

Subject: Too Many Internships?


> Hello all,
>
> Is it possible to have too many internships on your resume?
>
> I am a full-time graduate student who is working towards a career in
> collections managment.  I have already held four internships at a variety
> of museums, for varying lengths of time.  I feel that each internship
> followed a natural progression, taking me one step closer to my career
goal
> and increasing my knowledge of the museum field exponentially.  I am now
> considering applying to another summer internship, but am haunted by
> warnings that I have received that having too many internships on my
resume
> will decrease my ability to get a job, since prospective employers will
> wonder why I haven't made the jump into employment earlier.  Of course I
> can leave some of the internships off of my resume if needed, but I also
> know that these internships have openned doors for me in the past.  Is
this
> a real concern, and how does one decide on the proper number of
internships
> to have?  Yes, employment would ideal, and is my eventual goal, but
> currently I can't work and study full time, so internships are my
> opportunity to remain connected with the museum field.  Am I hurting my
> future prospects?  Thank you for your input.
