Hey guys,
I go to a really competitive school and have been unable to get an internship this summer because of the time i've taken off in the past due to the j-pouch.
I'm studying Finance, and most kids have a previous internship experience. Because of the time I took off for surgeries, I look like I lack experience and haven't gotten any offer.
It's hard to communicate to anyone (let alone an interviewer) that all the time off was indeed necessary.
I know people on this board are from all over the place and participate in all kinds of work. I'm a rising senior with a 3.7 GPA, and was wondering if anyone who worked in the financial services sector on these boards had heard of opportunities I might be able to apply to.
I don't know where else to turn, and feel that someone on here might be sympathetic to the unique path i've had to take to get where I am.
