| Hey, I had the same problem as you. I am also a rising junior majoring in finance at WVU with a 3.5. It is a little late now but a lot of firms are looking for Sophomores for leadership training sessions. This looks really good on resumes and you are put into consideration for an internship the following year. My roommate and I were considered for one by Ernst and Young, but his resume was a little bit stronger and he ended up landing it.
However, I found a campus rep. position with Dell that I am applying for internship credits. I know it has nothing to do with Finance and is more geared toward marketing, but I found one of my biggest problems when applying for jobs was I didn't have any experience.
Also, for the guy who said a 3.5 at UVA is not very well respected doesn't know what he is talking about. Your GPA is solid and will put you into consideration for internships. Networking is HUGE, I have had some of my family members looking around for me, maybe you should try the same. |
