5 Key Points to Landing an SA Internship Mar 4th 2013, 01:00 So, this is it for me. I accepted an offer and am done with SA recruiting. It definitely is a grueling process, but it pays off in the end with a bit of luck. Just wanted to share my advice from things I have learned throughout the process. By no means do I think I'm an expert or that I know more than the next guy. Just wanted to give back to the site. Here are the 5 Key points that helped me land the offer: 1) Networking If I could give one piece of advice, it'd be to set up a call and pick up the damn phone. I thought I had an "in" with the banks where I met someone at an event, got their card, and followed up with a thank you email. I now realize that doing this is simply going through the motions. When résumés are being pulled, no ones going to think "Oh, this kid sent me a great thank you email, he's getting an interview!"
