VC Advises Against Listing Outdated College Internships in Professional Bios
Source Posts on X
Public Service Announcement: Summer internships have an expiration date. If you're more than five years out of college, please don't list an 8-week summer internship as "career experience" in your bio. You're not ex-Goldman Sachs or ex-Google because you interned there for a minute. If your biggest credential is still your college internship, that says more about the rest of your career than you probably intended.
