How many internships do you realistically need before applying for full-time sport jobs?

I have completed one internship and I am trying to decide whether I should pursue another internship or start applying for full-time roles. Is one strong internship usually enough if the experience is relevant?

There is no magic number. One internship where you owned real work, built references and can describe your impact is often more useful than several short experiences where you mostly observed. Apply for full-time roles while continuing to build experience rather than waiting for a certain internship count.
