Please help me get an internship

Post your resume on Razume.com so we can critique it. Elaborate a little more on what you have done and the results you have gotten.

Something critical is missing. Low gpa, non-target, philosophy major?

I have done an internship during the summer. I have strong extracurricular activities and GPA of 3.5 at one of the top 5 business schools in USA. I was only invited to interview with Barclays Capital S&T but denied and everywhere else was denied without even getting an interview.

This is really depressing.

To Directors, Vice-Presidents, Managing director and CEOs and COOs and CFOs and board directors and Chairman of the financial companies: Please help me. I am passionate and willing to learn, work hard and have a really great attitude.

Please help me

JWL, I am sure there might be one or 2 higher level people on this board, I think the general make up is analyst and some associates.

Please post your resume, we need a little more information. Have you done any networking, emailing, info sessions. Give us the details.

troll?

Listen to AnthonyD1982. He is a great poster. Show us resume.

Also I am a Finance major.

jwl .. why don't you start by posting your resume like everyone is suggesting..

You transferred twice, moving up to a top 5 business school? I don't understand. Internal transfer or community college to regular college to top 5 business school? Are you Ivy? Wealth Management doesn't help your case either. S&T is a whole other beast.

I am drinking alone now and it is very depressing. I have worked really hard to get a job at one of the most prominent financial firms in the world but could not even get an interview. If this is the case, what is the point of working hard and go through the hardships and pain.

AnthonyD1982, I sent you my resume to your email.

If you are so kind, please help me

I am a partner at Goldman Sachs Principal Investment Area and you seem to have great spunk. I'd give you an internship but I see you are only doing S&T so sorry.

Fubs is a MD at UBS and he would give you a job.

I call troll.

I received no resume.

Troll. Monitor, take this down.

No philliesphan. Please listen to my words and I will elaborate to clarify things.

I am willing to work at any of the divisions. I have never worked at any of the divisions except the Wealth Management. Therefore, I do not even know exactly how S&T is like. I only said S&T because I want to work at a division where it is financial markets related. I am certainly for sure not interested in the Investment Banking division but I am willing and have the absolute commitment to work at investment areas.

Please if you give me the opportunity, I will do my bestest to fulfill my responsibility

Please give some chance and help me.

OK, I was wrong. Got his resume. Dude is legit.

Thank you for taking a look at my resume AnthonyD1982.

To Directors, Vice-Presidents, Managing director and CEOs and COOs and CFOs and board directors and Chairman of the financial companies: Please help me. I am passionate and willing to learn, work hard and have a really great attitude.

My email is [email protected] If you have some interests in giving me the opportunity to work with you or at your company

Please help me I will work really hard

Hope everything works out for you jwl

This post is fuckin epic

I'm not touching this post again.

Grow a spine and stop spamming this forum. I can't believe you're so desperate to actually beg for a job on an online forum.

If you're not getting interviews, there's something wrong with your resume and cover letter. Look them over and make sure there are no stupid typos. Reach out to MM firms and boutiques, not just BB's.

There are many in your position... but take advice from Simon Cowell....

"Dont beg.. its not cool"

Pierce_and_Pierce:

In a way I agree with you, being desperate really sucks, especially on an online forum.

But......

The kid wants to work in Finance and he didn't make it in a traditional approach. So at this point I give him some credit, he has some balls to come on here and say all that shit.

Do you think he is embarrassed? who gives a shit, just like you said this is an online forum... So what does he have to lose...?

He might sound desperate, but hey..... if you don't have a job when you graduate, are you gonna sit on your couch and blow farts all day and give up? Or are you going to use every fucking possible resource that there is out there.......

Assuming the kid isn't giving me a fake resume let me say that he goes to a very good school and has a pretty solid resume.

JW, don't beg, just ask for help. Pierce is right, it is unbecoming.

Wow some of you guys are so nice... I basically lost some respect for this kid when he wrote "...and give me the summer analyst internship?" Really? Looking at a resume and giving an interview is one thing, but asking directly for an internship is a little out there. I've got tons of friends who are still in the midst of recruiting with 3.8+ GPAs, great extracurriculars at target schools, and have past finance internships, and none of them are whining, "drinking alone" in abject misery, etc. Please control your emotions, you need SUPER thick skin in S&T, or any other division in an investment bank... and DITTO to MC 002 ...begging is not attractive.

Hello,

I'm a ED at one of the firms you have listed.

I hate to see that you have nearly given up on your search for a career that you have devoted so much time into pursuing. Many people here have what it takes to get in,but lack the connections that will land them the job. You can send your resume my way as well. I cant promise that I can land you an interview but I can promise that it will go straight to the recycle bin.

I apologize if I sounded like begging but I just wanted to see if there is anyone out in the society who can help me. I asked my parents, family, friends, relatives and everyone else that I know but they could not help me because they do not know anybody at any of the financial firms.

If I were the Managing director, Vice-president, president, CEO, COO, CFO, etc, I would definitely help people who are willing to work and have great interests in finance. And I just tried to find someone who holds high position and who has the same mind as I do that can help people like me.

Once again, I apologize but thats how much courageous I am and willing to work hard and have big interest in working for one of the financial companies

What about the other 500 qualified candidates? You think you deserve a spot just like that?

Yea I guess the "give me an internship" sounds absolutely ridiculous. I was just looking at the positives, maybe I'm just in a good mood haha.

ahh... i understand he goes to Stern... I feel bad for this guy. he has his balls out on this forum and look at all the bitter people come to rip him to shreds for outright asking. i give him credit for being upfront and taking a shot in the dark. if ur a sophomore then it's alright to not get anything.

the rest of you get some shiatsu k?

When I read his original post I was certain people were going to rip him a new one for coming on here, begging and practically demanding ("give me a job" and "I deserve some attention"). Begging is not cool, I don't care how "depressed" he is. There are many, many individuals in the same position as this kid. It doesn't take "much balls" to create a name and post something like this. Everyone else in his position are busting their ass networking, going to speaking events, trying to get a business card, etc. This place has gotten soft.

What's puzzling to me is that every single one of the OP's posts has contained some sort of grammatical error or incorrect usage of the English language. Why would an MD give a job to someone who can't proofread three sentences when asking for it?

There are no MDs/CFO/CEO are on this board....

It took me 5 seconds to deduce that out after reading some of the junk posted on this board. Think buddy...THINK.

There actually are MDs on this board, they just don't come around very often... There was a thread about this not too long ago.

Haven't seen the resume, but I simply can't believe that this dude isn't a troll.

but did he really switch usernames? is slumdogny = woa11?

I can relate to your situation, it sucks when nobody answers your knock. Believe me, I was recently in the same boat.

But while you are still sober just run these thoughts through your mind: How you deal with failure is way more important to your eventual success than how often you fail. You've made yourself even more unattractive to employers with your despair. The correct approach would be to come here (and anyone) and ask for advice on how to improve.

And if you were wondering, here is my advice, I could be wrong since I'm relatively inexperienced: 1) 3.5 GPA at Stern isn't that high, especially for S&T... so do something about that 2) If you think PWM experience qualify you for S&T, please read the Vault guides one more time. 3) Stop saying you are willing to work hard and have a interest in finance... everybody can make claims, you have to demostrate..

and what exactly is an Investment Area Division?!
