Call a few small firms in whatever state you are in to get a feel of what firms are looking for from you.

Do you have any previous work experience?

Yes, I'm prior military. I've been told IB does not emphasize technical skills. Rather, they're looking for students who can put in the long hours.

Long hours mean a lot. The thing that matters most is being teachable and coachable.
