The key to employment after graduation? Demonstrated experience.

When I've interviewed people in the past, especially interns, what I'm looking for is the student that shows they're interested in the field. Not just someone that has a degree. Someone that has been involved in clubs related to the field, internships, etc. It doesn't have to be top tier, but you'll get a lot further with longstanding interest compared to a grad who only waited tables or partied their way through school.

How to approach it?
1) Network - send out coffee chat emails to alums or any professional at the firms you want to apply to
2) Prep technicals, behaviorals
3) Insights/Diversity programs - look for any that are still open and apply ASAP if you qualify, they can lead to an accelerated interview process
4) Find when apps usually open
