How do I get a job without internship experiences? I’m an Econ major graduating in May 23 and the only “internship” I had was a summer job at a call center. I’m trying to work in consulting, specifically finance or analyst roles and I only have a year left before I graduate.

Internships aren't mandatory, and it looks like you have some other experience that will be beneficial. I would also recommend trying to start making contacts at companies you may want to work for. Having connections is one of the best ways to get a job when you graduate.

Can you get involved with clubs at school or potentially something like a student managed fund? It’s not internship experience, but it would help.

TCD 1 yes I am involved with clubs n all, I’m the treasurer/accountant for like 3 of them and help organize/plan stuff but is that helpful?

Yea it matters. Shows initiative and leadership

I would suggest networking and getting a referral. You dont HAVE to have internship experience in order to land a role. Having a referral to a company will really help you.

An internship is not really necessary. You can still land a job even without it. I suggest you reach out to recruiters if you know any around your area.

If you have a chance to get an internship this fall and/or spring semester you will have a much easier time finding a job when you graduate. While it isn't impossible to get a job without an internship it is much more difficult, you'll need some kind of experience and/or networking background to have a leg up on the compeition
