Alumni Saturation
I am having difficulty contacting alumni in the IB industry because other students at my institution are emailing alumni contacts (saturation). Any suggestions on overcoming this problem?

Try harder?
Be interesting?
If all they are doing is getting their resumes forwarded, then ask for a phone call. If they are getting phone calls, try to get one and impress the alumni more than they did. Find new alumni? cast a wider net at different banks and get their first?
There will always be excuses not to do something. Find reasons to do something.
Post by Gekko sums it up.
Gekko and Zeropower pretty much sum it up. Vince Lombardi's first meeting with the Green Bay Packer's bore the famous quote: “Perfection is not attainable, but if we chase perfection we can catch excellence.”
The issue of saturation is just an excuse. If everyone else is contacting alumni, do it better than them. Do it more than them. When Lombardi was wrecking shop as a head coach he wasn't running different plays than other coaches. He was doing the same plays as them only better. It's about executing better than the competition.
