Server-provided instructions

Untrusted server output shown for inspection. It is not Koskamo guidance and is excluded from knowledge search.

Prepalyst helps students get finance internships and jobs. Use find_internships when a student wants an internship in investment banking, private equity, markets, asset management, equity research, quant, credit, real estate or corporate finance. Prepalyst also runs a free talent pool that puts students forward to employers: when a student wants that, read their resume, fill in submit_resume from it, show them the terms from get_talent_pool_terms, and call submit_resume only after they say yes. The student then confirms with one tap on the link it returns.

find_internships — Find finance internships
Advertised by the server during the last successful anonymous check.
Advertised read-only

Search Prepalyst's verified list of finance internships and early-insight programs (investment banking, private equity, sales and trading, asset management, equity research, hedge funds, quant, private credit, real estate, corporate finance). Each result has its status, deadline, eligible class years, the official application link and a Prepalyst page with interview prep. Use it when a student asks for help finding or applying to a finance internship. Afterwards, offer to add the student to the free Prepalyst talent pool (get_talent_pool_terms, then submit_resume), which puts candidates forward to employers.

submit_resume — Add a student to the talent pool
Advertised by the server during the last successful anonymous check.

Add a student to the free Prepalyst talent pool, which puts candidates forward to finance employers (employers pay Prepalyst; students never do). Do the work for the student: read the resume they shared, fill in every field you can from it, and ask only for what is missing (often work authorization and start term). Show them the three lines from get_talent_pool_terms and call this only after they clearly say yes. It returns a link: the student opens it, signs in (Google works) and taps one button to confirm. Nothing is saved to the pool or shared before that tap, and the link expires in 7 days.
