Worth it to do more than 1 unpaid internship?
Incoming sophomore majoring in something media-related! I’m currently finishing up an unpaid remote summer internship, and while it’s been a good resume booster, I kinda thought I’d only have to do one unpaid internship before moving on to paid ones lol.
I applied to a few fall internships and got an offer for another unpaid remote one, around 15 hours a week from September to December (so not the full year!) The position is pretty niche and directly related to what I want to do, and I usually only see similar roles offered at bigger companies (like NBCU), so I feel like it could be useful experience for applying to those places later.
At the same time, I want to spend more time getting involved on campus and joining clubs/student media that would also be relevant to my resume.
Would you guys say a second unpaid internship is worth it for the experience/resume or should I just put all my focus on clubs/student orgs and aim for paid internships from here?
