Stock Markets Exposed
Stock market?
I am interested in getting an internship during this summer dealing with stock market in general. However, while going through numerous internship websites, as well as job search engines, I became more and more lost. None of the categories were as clear cut as to say "Brokerage Firm." Instead, I came across; Accounting & Finance, Finance, Investment, Financial Services, Investment banking, ect. WHAT?! I just want to get an internship where daily vitality of the market matters, and decision have to be made due to that. Those options are not detailed enough for me to say, “Yes, that’s were I would like to be.” With my upcoming AA in business management, I understand that I will not be a broker; however, I just want to be around that environment. I am interested in getting to taste that line of work, also better understand the market in real life, enough with the books! I live in NJ, so lets not refer to NY, Chicago, or Philly.

- I would not look in search engines for a summer internship. Try recalling the names of the firms you have heard of or search a local area's online yellow pages for stockbroker or investments. call and ask for the HR dept. and explain to them what you are wanting to do.
- go to the brick and mortar establishments and apply.. other than doing a co-op thru the college you attend, thats about the only other way....
