Working two jobs just to build resume?

[kyrax12]

I just got multiple offers and was wondering if I should work both jobs just to build my resume. Money isn't really an issue for me, but I do want to make my resume look nice.

I been thinking a lot about this, but I am leaning towards focusing on just one internship and doing well in school.

What do you guys think?

Volunteer?

Volunteer?

I have a lot of volunteer on my resume already. I feel like work experience are valued more.

If money isn't an issue why put yourself through that? Some people can work themselves sick for 5 years then get a sweet job and rest on their accomplishments, but a lot of people won't make it through those first five years. You should know yourself best, so you tell us.

It is just that work experience is so important in today's competitive job market, that i want to give myself an edge.

I guess I will just stick with one and focus the rest onto school and having a social life.

Certain companies have contractual language that prohibits working for other companies in fields that may or may not be related while still employed.

Pretty much every company I've worked for (even grocery stores) have a non-compete clause written in.

Why not work one job, do really good work, and make yourself indispensable because you're awesome? When it comes time to find another job, show them how you do really good work and made yourself indispensable.

It seems like you're making it harder than it needs to be.
