Career Advice for recent grad from semi-target

I graduate from a semi-target University in two weeks with a degree in Sociology. My GPA is in the top 10% of my college and I was hoping to get into Investment Banking or Consulting. I have almost no work experience, and I wanted the wise opinions of WSO's community of what I should do to improve my resume? I want to gain some work experience, however, it 's hard to put my foot in the door.

 

Thank you for replying! I have trouble finding someone who has the same facts as me. Either their GPA is different or their major is different. I just wanted to know if it is still possible or if I am out of luck. Thank you for taking the time to read this.
