People often say, "I want to get an investment banking internship, but first I'll raise my GPA, become president of the finance group, volunteer on the side, and then get an internship." Sounds like a very inefficient strategy, don't you think? If you want to get a banking internship, then just get a banking internship! It makes more sense to aim for a stint at a local boutique right now than to productively procrastinate by becoming president of your finance club before actually doing what it takes to get a job. Don't make any more creative excuses. Just do what it takes and get a job. Another thing - banks weigh work experience more heavily than your student group activities because work experience more accurately illustrates the extent of your involvement in the industry. It's more impressive to see that you completed a part-time internship doing M&A advisory at a boutique than it is to see that you're involved in 27 student groups. Now take a look at your investment banking resume. What does your work experience consist of? Is it heavy with student-group activities or real job experience? \*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\* For more excerpts from the book, visit ibankinginternship.com \*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\* MEET ERIN PARKER Erin Parker is an economics student at Stanford University.

WHAT READERS ARE SAYING: "I wish that this book had existed when I was applying for positions back in college. I was a economics major with almost no real job experience, and it must have shown in my interviews. I got lucky because UBS was willing to take a chance on me as a summer intern, which led me to get where I am now. If I could do it again, though, I would take the much easier route and read this book. It would have prepared me for the parts of the job I never imagined." - First Year Analyst At Citigroup "Applying for my summer internship was a rough experience- I was afraid that I would never get the chance to show my skill in investment research to big companies because I would be rejected before I ever made it to the internship stage. Fortunately for me, this book helped me prepare and build my interview skills to the point where I felt that I had not just a fair shot at the job but an unfair advantage over the other candidates. It's a must read." - Current Intern At Goldman Sachs
