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.

Send me your resume to my email at *******. I’ll look at it and we can set up a call. ITB.
