Break into WallStreet article

Fellow Homo and Hétéro Sapiens,

As you may know, I'm the rep. for WSO in Montreal.

I was recently asked to write an article on how to break into wall street for HEC Montreal (www.hec.ca) students journal.

It will be a nice opportunity for me to promote WSO. However, could you guys give me some tips on how Montreal studs can actually make it on the street?

Other than the 'network, network, network', could you give me some specific names of events they should attend to? the way to get an internship etc etc

Anything that can help is welcome'd.

Thanks a ton
