Hi, With the holidays coming up and with nothing to do currently, I am considering sending a blanket letter and CV to several hedge funds to see if they need an intern over the holiday period.

How do you guys change your banking oriented resumes when applying to other positions?
So my resume makes me look like I am dead-set on banking (which I am). Banking SA recruiting doesn't start for a few more months though, so I wanted to drop in the mean time for some other positions and get interview experience in. For those of you with previous banking internships, you do you...

Straddling quant & non-quant schools
I'd love to hear from some other applicants, former or current, that are straddling both non-quant & quant schools. I've gone from a quant list, to a non-quant list, then back to a quant list, until I finally mix and matched. Despite being warned over and over again that this is a terrible idea, I'm...

Applying with little or no results!
Ok, so here is my dilemma. I go to a non target. When I mean non target, I mean its not even on the radar of anyone in the financial community.
