<p>The job market is coming around a little but the numbers of grads still outnumber the jobs available You do seem misguided at focusing on a finance job right out of school with a Poly Sci/English degree. I think the dean was right about trying to fit at least some quant skills into your schedule.</p>
<p>You should expand your search and look at any and all management trainee jobs, especially ones in organizations that have a global reach. Non profits are a good way to get real life skills and working for one can give you contacts. Surely there are ones that relate to international relations. And then there are government positions. You can even apply to companies like Google, youtube hires people with all kinds of majors, they don’t just hire tech people.</p>
<p>It is a lot of work, but the more you research each area, the stronger you can make a good cover letter and resume that is focused for the position. Make sure you have knowledgeable people looking at the quality of your resume and cover letters–these need to be top notch.</p>
<p>MBA without work experience is useless and really good programs won’t admit your until you have 5 years impressive experience at the minimum. Think about that later.
