Hello from the West Coast!

Hi everyone! I got introduced to WSO from a friend at UC Berkeley. Using the tools from WSO, he landed an internship at a botique bank.

I'm graduating this Spring with my BA in Economics and Communication minor from a top 50 school in the nation. I transferred from community college and experienced difficulty in landing finance related internships. My resume is somewhat bland aside from working for my family. After graduation I plan to really hone my excel skills along with taking accounting classes.

I hope that WSO will help me break into commercial banking as an analyst or even I-banking if I'm lucky. Any tips would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
