<p>As someone thinking about a career in finance, what do students usually do during their summers. As a freshman, there were few opportunities for me to take advntadge of int terms of jobs/internships with companies. Will having a regular job hurt? What other summer activities would be suitable for a resume for these places. Any suggestion/ other info would be greatly appreciated.</p>

<p>they (the ibs) want "industry exposure".. which usually means working with some of the top firms.</p>
<p>If I were you, I would cold call HR at the firms and ask them if there are any positions available.. and offer to work for free.</p>
