Urgent Help >> Breaking into HF

I am a senior now and was originally applying for management consulting positions. However, it didn't work out.

I am engineering major with data analysis minor, and I am from a small rich school where so many alumni go on to work in hedge fund or venture capital.

My question is: I am trying to get into any of these two industries because it will be relatively easy to reach out to alumni and ask them for jobs, but I have no idea about any of these two industries. Where should I start so by the spring I would good to go for interviews, etc
