Apparently this topic was inappropriate for the I-Banking Discussion, so perhaps this is a more appropriate place.
I'm hoping you guys can help me out. I'm a rising junior at a semi-target. Last summer I had a BB PWM internship in NYC. Because I transferred schools, I was forced to take summer classes at my new school in order to ensure that I graduate on time. Because of this, I was locked out of many of the structured internship programs.
I will probably be able to work with the same adviser for at most a couple weeks at the end of this summer, but besides that, I have NO other options. I need money, and the only thing I know I can do right now is work for a temp agency (just to make money).
This obviously wouldn't go on my resume, and I can probably still write that I worked at the BB for part of the summer. The only thing I'm worried about is that when I apply for next summer and they do a background check, they'll see that I worked at a temp agency for part of this summer, and they won't see that I worked at the BB because it will be directly for the adviser and not officially through the bank. Also, in the application process, they usually ask for my past 3 employers; thus, I'd have to put the temp agency down.
Will this look bad? Should I not work for the temp agency and figure out something else?
Your advice is appreciated.
you have bigger things to worry about than that.
?
Do the temp agency gig, and put it on your resume. If they ask, tell them you needed money to begin your last year of school... simple as that.
It seems MonteCarlo is suggesting that you don't have the 'creds to get a FT offer with your current Work Exp and Semi-Target background.
Best of luck in any case.
Well to MonteCarlo, he's 100% wrong. If you've followed any of my posts, I'm not going to say I'm guaranteed a FT offer, but the chances are incredibly strong due to the program I'm in. No further comment.
In that case, great. Although I would like to follow your posts, that feature isn't available yet on the site.
