Hi monkeys,
I'm a sophomore at a target school with a good GPA but am struggling with securing a summer internship. I have come to realize that my extracurriculars are lacking (I have very few). So my question is: what are some good activities that I can get involved with to stand out, other than the standard finance/stock market club? Also, what are some of the best resumes you have seen in your experience, and what made them so great?
Thanks.
