Advice Regarding Landing an Internship Starting the Process Sophomore Year

Hello. I'm a rising sophomore at a semi-target school who just started taking the IB recruitment process seriously. I have some financial experience, but have done all my internships in other fields. I've started networking already and hope to land some sort of finance-related gig this upcoming fall semester. I just wanted to ask y'all for advice regarding how I should proceed as the fall semester gets closer and what I should do throughout the fall semester to give myself a shot.
