Tips on PE recruiting?

Any tips on starting to get the ball rolling on PE prep as a first year? Have one or two old models passed down in my group but not enough to prep I think. I’m also in a group that models in a pretty weird way (FIG) and want to recruit for generalist PE, so I basically have no relevant experience on the modeling I’ll need for recruitment.

Anyone recommend courses to buy? Office hours? Free resources? Etc

Just looking for a structured way to go through and use my time efficiently as a first year analyst
