How do I get a job fast?

Hi, I'm graduating in August from a non-target with a 3.3 GPA with basically no experience. I don't have any offers and I have started to give up. Does anyone have any last advice?

If you’re graduating in August as in next month... with a 3.3 from a non-target I would say that an IB internship is very unlikely. While I don’t recommend giving up completely, I would say look at different career options as a safety net. With everything going on (COVID), your top priority should be getting A job. You can always find your way back to IB eventually somehow, now might not be the time. Best of luck!

 

I would suggest finding anything finance related. as others have mentioned, you’re not going to be pulling a hat trick and getting a IB position unless something else magical happens as you don’t have a high GPA, no experience, and not a target/OCR.

I would suggest looking for roles online and networking with those people to secure a job over the next few months/year. It’s a crazy world right now, and your concern should just be getting a job. Secure a position and then start networking for IB.
