I’ve applied for several internships on LinkedIn and handshake that I’m simply not going to get as a freshman with no prior experience. I see kids gets summer internships all the time on LinkedIn and I assume that it’s just nepotism like every analyst tells me. How do I actually network my way into a freshman summer internship so I can actually start to build my resume for ib recruiting?
