<p>I am currently a high school senior, and I was wondering if I should do an unpaid internship with a financial adviser over the summer or get a job at target.</p>
<p>Which would look better for future resumes?</p>
<p>i would go with the target job since you get paid. you have plenty of opportunity for internships later on especially if your just graduating high school. money is more important than building up your resume at this point, unless you plan to intern with the FA for all four years.</p>
<p>unless its Merrill Lynch (which is unpaid I believe), go for target :D
ur not even a freshman yet, so u have time to chill
But if you do end up doing the internship, it will only be a plus for your resume
but also working part-time during school is a plus too</p>
<p>^Yes but which is the bigger plus =]</p>
<p>It's Raymond James btw</p>
<p>Oh one more thing, as an unpaid high school intern, there wouldn't be any official paperwork/documentation of my internship right? So how will companies do background checks on this if I put it on my resume?</p>
<p>Just go with Target for now. Trust me, you'll be more motivated to work if you get paid.</p>
<p>As a new high school grad, you don't really need to worry about an internship at this point. Going into college though, some advice I'd give you is to get involved with student organizations, get a leadership position, keep your GPA up, and network network network. The opportunities will come.</p>
<p>Btw--if you decide to go with the Target job, I suggest that you try to get a cashier position (or work your way up to that position). After getting some experience handling money, apply for a bank where you'll be in a more "financial" setting.</p>

<p>LOL</p>
<p>Not to be mean, but that was by far the most illogical post I've ever seen!</p>
<p>hahahaha glad im not the only person that caught that.</p>
<p>Would working at Target be something worth listing on my resume when I look for other internships/jobs in college? Even if the work experience is not relevant to the job I seek?</p>
<p>shows that you can handle school + social life + part-time job</p>
<p>get the job. you'll need the money in the long run. Unless...you can come to a compromise with the FA and work 2-3 days there and a couple days at target. Sounds like a sweet deal to me.</p>
<p>Are You Freaking Kidding Me?</p>
<p>Target Or A Finance Internship?</p>
