I am currently working on my MBA from UCONN at the Stamford campus. I am expected to graduate in Spring '12, but might delay my graduation till Fall '12 (would apply for summer internships)due to not having experience in the finance industry . My MBA concentration is finance, but I only have experience in IT.
I am from the Fairfield, CT region and have been trying to find an internship for the Fall or Spring semester, but so far have only found that summer internships are offered. I was wondering if anyone knows places that I might not have thought of. I have already contacted UBS, RBS, GE Capital, and a few others. I am waiting on Morgan Stanley to get back to me, but figured I would ask the question in the mean time.
I also checked the companies if they had part time positions and that turned out to be no as well. Any thoughts on part time places as well?
Thanks

You didn't pursue OCR this past Spring?
Not sure what you mean by OCR, but going to assume you mean on campus recruiting (please correct me if I am wrong)
There was a career fair at the Stamford campus that I attended and applied to two places, but the positions were for the summer and not the fall/spring semesters.
Yes, on campus recruiting. Why didn't you want a summer internship? That's the main season for both undergrads and MBAs. Have you tried reaching out to alumni?
originally I wasn't going to be in the area for the summer so I didn't make the deadlines for the internships at the big companies (UBS, GE, etc). Later I found out that I was able to stay in the area so I applied to the jobs at the career fair, but none got back to me (it was very small since Stamford is a satellite campus rather than main campus for UCONN).
I haven't thought about reaching out to alumni and will do that, thank you for the idea.
I know they exist... I just saw one for Merrill Lynch a week ago for an off cycle internship. Albeit it was only available in London and Germany, but it's something.
