Transitioning from Wall Street into the entertainment industry took tireless effort, countless in-person and email exchanges with my Career Counselor (Sei Yoshioka), and just a bit of luck. I treated my internship search as if it were a job itself. It is imperative that students searching for an internship, adopt a proactive approach, and focus their initial efforts on educating themselves about the industry as well as building out their respective network base.
Before you meet with your career counselor, do your own due diligence.
