Transition from Retail bank to Corporate Bank

Hi I'm an undergraduate student and I'm passionate on valuing a company and building financial model. I have become an expert in building financial model by using Microsoft Excel Spreadsheet after two-three months. I have applied 100 company since the month of August, I have been following up with no update on any position. My professor have told me to apply as a personal banker, something that I am not interested. Can anyone give me an advice if I were to start as a personal banker how can I make a transition to the middle office, such as operation, risk, compliance division?
