How to beg for IB Internship?

Pls don't flame me, the title is just a very blunt way of describing the point of this post.


I have an interview at a boutique IBank coming up for a summer 2022 position. A bit of background, I just finished freshman year and I am currently at a microboutique doing financing work (I was planning on staying here for the summer but tbh the work sucks and the experience is NOTHING compared to what I would get at this other place).


To be honest, I want this other job badly; I think I would be much happier personally if I got it. I'm already alone in a new city and job dissatisfaction doesn't help with my headspace.


So here is my question, and I don't mean to be pessimistic, just thorough: if after the interview they don't think I am experienced enough / offer the position to someone else, what can I do to convince them to hire me?


Do I offer to work for free? Do I tell them to give me a 1-2 week trial period so I can prove myself? What wildcard can I pull?
