I am a sophomore international student (I am not familiar with the system here but I think freshman with 30 credits transferred from exams are considered as sophomore?) from a semi-target/non-target west coast business school. My long term goal would be getting a law degree and land a job in legal sector in my home country (in Asia).
I have no connection, no impressive activity (the best one I can think of right now is a summer course in accounting/finance). I want to do an internship that can make my resume looks better or increase my chance of getting a decent job in finance in case I cant get into T14 (or makes my resume looks better when searching for an internship after I get into T14). Anything in finance/auditing/regulatory is fine.
I found that most internships are only available for penultimate students. I can apply even I am not but I am afraid that my profile is not strong enough for them to take a non-penultimate student. Is cold-emailing effective for me given my profile right now is not really impressive? Is it true that many firms are not willing to take interns as dealing with a kid who knows nothing in "real world" finance is a waste of time and they would not consider a person without family connection because he could not bring deals for the firm?
Thanks a lot
can someone please provide some advice? greatly appreciated
Yes, you need hard research in order to find one that best suit to you and your current condition. Don't be disappointed and keep searching. May God bless you!
thanks a lot would it be better if I start off this year by requesting unpaid pwm internship here?
