Leave clerkship off resume?

Rising 3L with a COA clerkship lined up for after graduation and am applying to term-clerk a few corporate-y openings. Not particularly interested in corporate long term, and am curious whether leaving the COA clerkship on the resume will make places skeptical of my interest. Or am I being crazy and leaving off a good credential?

What? This makes no sense.

OP: If a "corporate-y" job is hiring 3Ls for short-term work because they're interested in snagging students long-term after graduation, then, yeah, there's a chance that putting your forthcoming COA clerkship on your resume could hurt.
