august - jan internship possibility?
I am incoming freshman and my school just told us that freshmen will be on campus jan-august 2021. Getting a freshman summer internship was already hard enough and now it is impossible because well, no summer. I was wondering if anyone had any advice / suggestions on my possibilities of getting a remote internship from august- january? I know this is basically impossible but I really want some exposure to the industry and try to make the most out of this time. I just want to know if firms would be willing to hire me, I am fine with being unpaid but I just feel no one will give me the opportunity.
I am in LA and was considering reaching out to small banks in the area but if it is a remote one, does it really matter where the banks actually are? I want to start in August because I know right now firms are focused on the current college interns they have, so I wanted to join after they are gone.
Also idk if it's relevant but I go to a target
