Any Hokies willing to help?

Are there any fellow Hokies out there that know of job openings or people I can talk to to move in the right direction? I just graduated and want to get into S&T, or IB. Either way I would be happy. I'm just trying to broaden my network of people b/c i literally know no one on Wall Street.

Thanks in advance for any help!

Linkedin is worthless unless you know the person beforehand. The random friend requests of desperate job/internship seekers are ignored. Most people don't understand networking, it is making meaningful relationships with individuals, not meeting random folks and beseeching them for a job. Use the friends of friends approach, ask if any of your friends have friends on the street. Utilize your family. Cold call.

I tend to disagree, this is hardly the best way to go about networking. When I want to network I go to the country club or call friends in the industry. That's more efficient. He really should try cold calling, no one is impressed when some clicks the friend button.
