If I don't get the return offer, what do I do next?

I'm terrified of not getting a return offer this summer (Working at JEF). I know that its super hard not to get one, but just in case I want to know what are my options and how I should go about doing it. I know that I will try my damnest to be the best I can, but still, for those who didn't secure the return offer: What did you do next? Where did you end up?
