Story

Quick background: I come from a family of blue collar workers where nobody went to college before me. I recently found this site and want to test my luck in banking. I am going into my junior year at a non target, although we are a target for one bank I believe. Luckily I have a 4.0 GPA and an internship at an asset manager this summer.

I know I need to start networking hard, and most people I have reached out to talked about how every kid they helped had an incredible story. My problem is I don't really know what a great story is. I am posting for the first time to see if anyone is willing to help me craft my story before I begin my networking grind. I have been working on it but I don't know if what I am doing is good or not, and don't have anyone to go to for guidance. I don't want to put what I have been working on into this post as I would rather not reveal my identity to the whole board, but if anyone who has gone through this process would be willing to let me pm them and help a bit it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
