FT Oil trading prep

Hi guys,

I'm interested in applying for FT oil trading roles in a country which is an oil trading hub. However, I do not have oil related internships, and am wondering what I can do right now.

My background:
- Internships in real estate investment, boutique IBD (Clean Energy), M&A advisory at a big 4 firm (transaction services)
- Accountancy and Finance student

I have read Oil 101, the king of oil, and other related books on oil.

Any suggestions will be highly appreciated! Thank you.
