Open your e-mail and sign up for one of the company information sessions or related clubs. Book an appointment with your school's career guidance office. Can't get into the case competition club or whatever? Sign up for alumni networking sessions. Can't believe you're in a local business school. |

I find case competition is more of a way to building some connections with the company and hope that someone remember you or recommend you when you apply for the job in the company. At least there is a chance of something good happening isn't it? And you can also include in your resume if you are able to win the competition. It shows that you can work well in a team, think critically, able to breakdown or analyse problem-at-hand, and derive a solution in a real business environment. |

There are those who barely make the cut and those who top their cohort. There are those who worked very hard to make the cut while others made first class with lesser effort. There are those made it with a lot of luck while there are those who made it even while encountering bad luck. Actually, the more book smart you are, the better. If you can study twice as fast as other people, you have extra time to do other things like joining case competitions, learning a new language or juggling an internship while studying. |

yourplaceormine | wouldn't a first class mean that they are smart enough? besides isn't that what most, if not all banks are looking for? | |

People struggle in finance because they are not smart enough yet still want to enter finance. They think that their first class honours is wasted if they do something else. |

yourplaceormine | True, but i've been finding it extremely difficult to get a relevant internship without the necessary grades in the first place. Sort of a vicious cycle. | |
