I am going to add my advice without the ordering, since much of what I wanted to say has already been said. Also bb stole my input of getting back in shape :)

So, I cannot recommend the importance of just asking. This is especially true for international students with a somewhat conservative culture. I have been recently back to helping a few folks out who are in school, specifically folks who have uprooted their lives to go to business school in the US. A common theme that I am seeing is the inability to just ask for things. I have had to hammer the advice of cold calling, reaching out to alums or others for referrals and help.

I CANNOT STRESS THIS ENOUGH! ASK! JUST ASK!

Most of the jobs in the US (except for very structured pipeline like finance and consulting) happen through networking. If you want a job at Google or Microsoft, you got to have those referrals. Even if they show up on campus. So start reaching out and don't be disappointed if you are ghosted. It is a part of the game. Reach out to 100 people whose career you want to emulate. Even if you make strong 2-3 connections out of them, it will help you out disproportionately. The best time to do it is when no one else is doing it, which is now!
