Hi everyone,
I am a recent graduate from a semi-target state school with subpar GPA (3.1). I have been networking vigorously, and eventually got an unpaid internship offer from a boutique bank, but I just got a call today saying that my offer was rescinded due to their internal issue. Since it's almost mid-june and I have nothing lined up for me, what should I do? Where should I look for? I would really appreciate it if you have any advice for me where to look for
I have attached my resume for your reference so please feel free to recommend me a profession that might suit me.

Thanks so much for your time!
How have you been networking? Try to utilize personal networks instead of cold calling.
On your resume: For one thing, the only number I see on your resume is your GPA--not the best strategy esp. when you don't want your GPA to catch someone's eyes. Also, separate work and leadership experience. Narrow down your leadership experience to 1 or 2 most important ones. HIGHLIGHT the results, quantify them. If you are set on banking, narrow your work experience down to only banking-related. If you are trying to do IB, use your PWM experience from a different angle--less actually PWM, but highlight more about how you are comfortable with financial reports and analysis of financial documents. Emphasize valuation if possible.
Look for places where your state school has a name (probably local). I would say try looking local investment management firms. Not sure how you fit into IBD.
Did they give you any additional detail on why they rescinded your offer?
Ask them that due to the sudden nature that the offer was rescinded, and the fact that it's now Mid-June, if (whomever your contact there is) can refer you to any firm that he knows might have an open position.
At least give this a try.
I tried just now, and they told me how the firm is not making any revenues, internal management problem etc. They concluded by telling me they were sorry and wished me best of luck finding a new opportunity. I think I am in big trouble here. Do you guys have any suggestions on where I should look for new opportunities? It doesn't have to be IB just any job in NYC (BO/MO, AM, HF etc)
