Freshman Internship Advice

Hey, I am a first-year finance student looking for an internship, like many others. I have been applying to any job that I meet the requirements for, including those in the public sector. In terms of experience, I am an analyst at the on-campus student investment fund, but that is most of it. Any advice on getting a job would be appreciated, thanks.
