My first question is, I haven't gotten the offer letter yet, how many days should I wait until I send a follow-up email asking about the offer letter? 2. If time does pass, how should I format the email to not seem pushy or desperate. 3. Does working at this clinic count as veterinary hours needed for Veterinary school? and how should I keep track of these hours?

What specific steps can I take to land a competitive finance internship?
Hi CareerVillage community, I’m a senior finance major at Baruch College, and I’m working hard to land my dream internship in the finance industry—specifically in areas like financial planning, investment management, or corporate banking. As an immigrant and first-generation college student, I’ve been juggling full-time school, a full-time job, and supporting my family financially. While I’ve gained valuable experience in customer service and sales, and learned a lot about business through hands-on roles, I sometimes feel overlooked when applying for internships that require direct finance experience. I’m very eager to learn and grow in this field, but I’m not always sure how to make my background stand out to recruiters. I’d really appreciate any insight or advice from professionals who’ve been in the industry or from students who’ve been in a similar situation. Thank you so much!
