If I were you, hit up your past bosses, professors and whoever you were close to and can speak to your work product and see if they could reach into their networks. Also maybe hit up recruiters at firms and headhunters to keep you in consideration for future vacancies once in a while. I keep in touch with a lot of recruiters post-grad just cuz. If you want to be really ballsy, I used to know a kid who would drive and go up to job sites of small firms looking for vacancies to hand them his resume, and he got bites for several internships - don't know about FT etiquette, but who cares about the formalities bullshit, you're trying to get a job. I personally used to call people and got a good hit rate with internships doing that. That's what I can think of.
