If your issue is getting the interview, then networking is your answer. Reach out to friends and friends of friends (who hopefully know how awesome you are and how great you’d be as a Junior Analyst) that are in relevant (or know people to are in relevant) positions and get them to get you a foot in the door. This may be a coffee chat with someone, submitting your CV in, anything.
Keep at this and you should be able to get an interview at some point. It’s tough, nerve-wracking and demoralizing. But:
- Don’t give up, it will come, and
- Don’t say ‘I don’t know anyone’. Ask your friends if they know anyone. Then ask them if they know anyone. Reach out to long-lost friends. People who network successfully don’t necessarily know the most people, they’re just willing to dig deeper.
Good luck!
