What to do to impress BB and brokerages

2nd year at non-target. Majoring in Econ + CS + Stats Minor. Goal is to become a professional stock trader or broker. I want to get to do financial activities to put on my resume, but I can't really think of any. Some things I have already: - invested 1k of my own money into some safe ETFs - read a few books about the stock market (I don't think this is even worth putting on) - paper traded 1k into 3k through options trading - part of my college's investment club

What are some things I can do to lengthen this list and impress BB and brokerages when I apply for internships?
