I’m a current Stern freshman looking to get any experience under my belt, preferably paid, preferably in the city, preferably a big name related to finance or accounting.

I need to know what resources are best for finding these jobs. There has been a lot of hearsay as to which resources are complete wastes of time and whether or not an internship or job is even possible in the first year. I’d like a couple people to clear the air on this subject. If my expectations for this summer are not realistic, please suggest something more attainable and the means of finding it.

I’m looking for help/advice from upperclassmen, alumni, and freshmen who have successfully secured a first-year summer internship or job.
