The "ask"
Hi, I am a Sophomore majoring in finance at the University of Minnesota. I am an active member and the Brother Beta of the Phi Epsilon chapter.
I have been trying to break into a finance career but have difficulty getting started. I am open to networking and learning from anyone already in the field and can offer any career advice or help getting an internship. I have had trouble getting my foot in the door and am confident that once I am given a shot, I can thrive.
Thank you very much for your assistance.
