How to break into commercial banking?
Recently graduated in May with a BBA in CIS. State school, low GPA. Have taken 6 hours of courses in both accounting and finance. No relevant internships to commercial banking. How do I break in as a credit analyst (preferably)? Should I be trying to network my way in? Are people in commercial banking usually open to grabbing coffee/phone chats to talk about the industry and possible opportunities? What online resources can I take advantage of to learn skills/knowledge applicable to credit analysts at commercial banks? Are there any certifications I should look to get that would look good on my resume? Looking for any and all input and experiences with breaking in, especially those who didn't have relevant internships and non-finance/accounting degrees. Thanks!
Are you referring to Coporate banking or Commercial Banking (Retail banking )?
commercial banking = mid-market banking
Get a student membership for RMA. It gives access to a significant commercial banking network. They have a credit certification that you can do that isn't particularly hard or expensive.
