What do I do now? - Junior in the fall at a non-target

Hi guys. I'm going to be a junior in the fall at a non target. I've managed to get no internships this summer (of any sort). I had a few interviews but no offers. What should I do now? Should I cold call, take a class, get any job, etc? Anybody else in my shoes?

Hmm...that's a tough position.

Try this (assuming you are seeking an internship still): whip out an excel sheet and list all the companies you are interested in and any local companies in your area. Once you've created this database, contact the individuals with a well-crafted cover letter and resume stating your interests in said internship.

I am sure you can get something this summer. Be persistent and work hard. Worse comes to worse, take some courses or even travel.
