Plan B - Screwed up during recruitment

So I'm the definition of suck. I really screwed up recruiting because I couldn't close any of my super days and now I'm facing for the worst: not having anything for Junior summer...

I've interned in i-banking and corporate development/strategy before, so I don't think I'm totally screwed experience wise. I just need to figure out something cool to do for the summer that'll be alright come FT recruiting.

I'll keep chugging away to see if I can find anything for now, but I figure I should be prepared.

Any ideas? Mucho gracias. You guys have been a wealth of information and help so far, and I really appreciate it.

Best regards,
BankingWaffle

If you're looking for cheap, forget Planned Parenthood. Just fall down the stairs a few times "on accident" and pat yourself on the back for a job well done.

u cudn't get anything with that experience? whats your educational background. Just hit up all the boutiques in the US and say you will work for free.

I'm more of an old-fashioned coat-hanger person myself.

But yeah, I'm from a target with an above 3.5 GPA. I just suck terribly at interviewing I guess. That and I will admit I was a little lazy with networking.

Note to self: Find a new interview prep buddy for full-time + build my network...

Cheers.
