Based on the most helpful WSO content, here are some actionable steps to help you secure a summer or spring opportunity in M&A or PE:

  1. Leverage Networking: Start reaching out to alumni from Paris Skema FMI who are working in M&A or PE. Use LinkedIn or your school's alumni network to connect and request informational interviews.

  2. Apply to Spring Weeks: Many firms in Europe offer Spring Week programs, which are designed for students early in their academic journey. These programs often fast-track participants to summer internships. Applications typically open in the fall, so check deadlines immediately.

  3. Tailor Your Resume: Ensure your resume highlights relevant coursework, skills (e.g., financial modeling, valuation), and any prior experience. Consider using WSO's Resume Review service for detailed edits and proven formatting.

  4. Enhance Technical Skills: If you haven’t already, enroll in financial modeling courses. WSO offers free lessons on financial statement modeling, DCF, M&A, LBO, and more, which can boost your technical expertise.

  5. Target PE and M&A Firms: Research firms that recruit for internships in your region. For PE, focus on firms like Blackstone, KKR, and Silver Lake, which are known to recruit undergraduates and master's students. For M&A, target bulge bracket banks (e.g., GS, MS, JPM) and boutique firms.

  6. Prepare for Interviews: Use resources like WSO's Private Equity and Investment Banking Interview Prep guides to practice technical and behavioral questions.

If you need further assistance, consider WSO's Mock Interviews or Career Services to refine your approach. Good luck!
