Roadmap to IB

Hello forum users,

If you were in your penultimate year at at target school in Australia what steps would you take to land a summer internship? I know that grades, networking, and case competitions help but I'm curious as to how other people would approach it.

Essentially a step-by-step process. And if this has been posted before or I'm breaching some forum etiquette let me know.

Thanks,

Clocking
