What's the recruiting timeline for CF and what do I need to do?

I'm interested in corporate finance but I'm kind of lost when it comes to recruiting. When can I apply for an internship? What is the interview process like? Can I get one between sophomore and junior year? And finally, what are they looking for in an applicant?
