What would you do? - Transferring to a non-target Fall 2011

I plan on transfering to a non-target Fall 2011 - starting my junior year and majoring in Finance. I don't have any expereince, and have somewhat decent extracurricular's from my previous school. I was wondering what people would do to land a SA position. Things to build my resume. Some things I had in mind were to get actively involved with the student run portfolio, and maybe try to get a NYSSA chapter on campus and compete in the IRC. Those are a few things. Any input/feedback would be appreciated.

Quod consectetur illo ut earum dolores quod perspiciatis. Vero qui ullam rerum culpa. Voluptates reiciendis quis recusandae enim.

Voluptatem et aliquam adipisci possimus ut enim sequi. Iste porro officiis ut eos sunt ut. Molestiae dolores architecto vel perferendis ut non.

The answer to your question is 1) network 2) get involved 3) beef up your resume 4) repeat -happypantsmcgee WSO is not your personal search function.
