Job fairs...

I am an incoming freshman to stern and was wondering if i should start going to career fairs straight off the bat. I want to try and get an internship this years and wanted to know if this would be a good way in getting it

Yeah i am an incoming freshman at harvard and i was womderinf the same thing. Also, i was wondering if it is appropriate to put your high school accomplishments on your resume.

 

if you are an incoming freshman, you have to put your high school accomplishments or your resume would be nearly blank.

secondly, you can go to job fairs if you want, but don't try and get an ibanking internship after your freshman year. there is absolutely no reason to. enjoy your summer after freshman and sophomore years (i.e. travel). you'll have plenty of time to bank later.

plus, unless you have a connection, its damn near impossible to get an internship in ibanking

 

well i just want an internship in business in general because some experience will always outweight no experience. So would the job fair be the best place to try for internships or would i be better off trying to call the banks themselves.
