*ADVICE/HELP*
Fresh graduate, 3.84 GPA, B.A. in Economics with two minors. No internship experience, and worked at a cafe for 3 years as a manager. Did some self initiated financial projects with the company in Excel, and I’m currently working at a branch bank. I want to get out ASAP, and would appreciate any help for me to get my foot into consulting. I’m talking tier 3 obviously. Is there any chance at all before the next recruitment cycle comes?

Guys, I am APHR certified and practiced Organization Development for several years and I still had problems getting a new job after migrating to the USA.
