would this look good on my resume?
I'm a finance major and after this semester I'll have 51 credits(sophomore). After a few years off from school and working various jobs, I've come to the realization that I should probaly get my degree. I've decided to go with finance but considering my gpa(after this semester it will prob be a 2.97) I'm worried that I won't be able to land a good internship in this field. I also go to a school that is just decent. Some of the internships I'm interested include GE, raytheon, lockheed, BB(out of the question i know), MM, Accenture, ibm, Deloitte, and big 4 accounting firms. Can I leverage some of my past experience to my advantage? Manager of neighborhood grocery store Door 2 door sales experience(top salesman in department) Business 2 Business sales experience(Merchant service company where I acquired new merchants for credit card processing as well as offering services like cash advance to build up business) This summer I'll also be doing a two month stint with the US Census bureau as an enumerator Any advice?
It's possible given your wide range of interest, but you definitely have a very rough road ahead. The GPA is going to be a big issue so do whatever it takes to improve. Since you have 51 credits, you should use the next 70 credits before graduation to boost it. Quite frankly, your experiences are not that impressive. It's going to be hard. Also, despite you casting a wide net,each of those fields has its own recruiting style/interview style so you have to go the extra mile and familiarize yourself with all of them.
Thanks. Yeah I've been studying my arse off. I just wish I cared more when I took those previous credits because quite frankly I don't find school to be that difficult, it's just the previous apathy that took a toll on my gpa. I'm also planning on transferring to a much better school(Georgia Tech to be specific) and I know they have much better companies recruit there as well as only putting the Tech gpa on your transcript so that might help. With my gpa and credentials, are there any companies or internships in particular I might want to look at?
