sounds like you're ready.. but you're after just a summer gig? hmm that's gonna be tricky. not that many contracts out there, just freelance/perm positions.
keep slogging on.. heck tell them you want a full time forever-and-ever job if needs be and then quit

It would be helpful if you told us where you lived I guess. That could probably start a dialogue on places in your area you might not know about.
- see!!! this is exactly what i meant... open yourself and you may get info you never knew !!!e-pill
- ...or keep in your closed mind and never move towards gigs that may be greatest for you.e-pill

This thread is kind of hilarious because I'm going through the same thing...I'll be graduating (hopefully) in 5 weeks...I've had (counts in her head)...4 internships (not counting freelance) since I graduated high school. After my fourth internship ended in December of 2007, i wanted to try for another. So I applied to another firm in Minneapolis the next summer and never got a call back. And the thought that ran through my head was *maybe I've had too many internships*...
So I stopped looking and did more freelancing instead. But now I'd like to find a real job. I took a walk through the Fallon ad agency in Minneapolis yesterday and it made me want to puke. It was too high-rise and posh for me. I smelled a lot of bullshit there.
Anyway, I'm up for grabs in five weeks if anyone wants to hire ;)

iv interned for shepard. one of my favorite internships ever.
I think people judge you more on your book then your internships.

too much experience can be limiting when you're younger/fresh out of school.
Companies want Jr. positions to go to people that they can easily boss around.

There is no way of knowing why you cant get more internships than the 3 you have already been on, until we examine your work. I'm not sure why you think you need to subordinate yourself more, but If you don't feel comfortable revealing your work to us, then move on.
PS with a handle like "pantone princess" that screams female self-indulgence/lack of work ethic, you are asking for abuse from this sausagefest.

freelance.
watch the attitude too, its a small world and that anonymous poster you may diss today might be the CD interviewing you in the future or some nonsense like that...theres a boatload of talented designers out there...the ones with bad attitudes are quickly forgotten.

Get a real job. It's surprising that you haven't been hired by one of your 3 internships if you did so well...
