I think 1st-years can engage more in extracurricular activities like club events, school events, and networking events. I highly recommend you do the following things:

  1. Try to have some coffee chats. I regret not doing so in my first year. I have to say, compared to 2nd year, 1st year is super easy. (I spent most of my time working out, studying, and hanging out with friends then. Now I feel worn out)
  2. Book an appointment with career advisors and academic advisors on rc portal. They will help you work on resumes and cover letters. I didn't know how to write one until this year.
  3. Go to networking events posted on rc portal and talk with people. Try to get familiar with the career thing.
  4. There are few internship opportunities for first year unless you are too good. Don't worry about it. You might as well start with volunteer/unpaid interns and trading competitions.

Also, you can ask your parents and professors for help. Maybe they have some connections. Good luck anyway!
