How do you balance multiple internships ? How do you clarify to your boss as well that I have a time boundary?

I got two marketing internships and planned to accept the tech one as well just so I could compensate for my studies. Do you have a notion template to record your internship?

### Juggling Multiple Internships:

- Employ the use of a planner or digital calendar to allocate specific time slots for each internship and your academic pursuits.

2. **Articulate Clearly**:
- Keep your supervisors in the loop about your other engagements and define your availability explicitly.

3. **Maintain Orderliness**

If you want to take on multiple internships, there are a few things that are really important to keep in mind. First, you'll need to set clear expectations in advance with your potential managers of these internships. Making it clear some of your other intern obligations – they need to understand how much you're able to give towards that internship and what work you can take on. It's likely that their original understanding is that this is your one internship. It's also important to understand that if you are hoping for a job, juggling multiple internships is something you want to be cautious about. It will be hard to give it your all to that internship, build the relationships you need – because you're likely going to be overextending yourself. And at the end of the day, you're hoping for a job offer at the end of the internship. If you have extremely strong project management skills, this is possible to do. But it is not easy and will take a high level of dedicated and organizational skills.

Hi Shaina!

That’s a great question, and it shows that you take your professional development seriously. I would be as upfront as possible with your manager or supervisor when you begin your internship. Let them know if any time conflicts arise, but be sure to offer alternate times to meet. In that same vein, if there’s a project you might have trouble taking on, it would be a great idea to set up a time to meet with them.
