How to Land a Spring PE Internship/Job

I am currently a summer analyst at a middle market investment bank (tech - SF) and will be graduating college in December. I really want to intern at a PE shop next Spring before starting as a full-time analyst in June 2018.

Would really appreciate everyone's advice on how to tackle the networking and recruiting process. These internships are not easy to come by, especially during the Spring, so any advice on how to best create these opportunities would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Private Equity Mock Interview

“Andre was amazing to work with. He brought real energy and clarity to every conversation, explained complex ideas simply, and always made time to help. His attention to detail and calm under pressure lifted the whole team, and his feedback was honest, specific and genuinely useful. Beyond the work, he was approachable, generous with his knowledge and made everyone around him better. Every session with him felt insightful and inspiring. I'd love to work with Andre again and would recommend him without hesitation. ”
