Probably not going to find one on this site, I may be wrong, but unlikely.

Considering how small our community is, and considering that you yourself are in the field, I'm going to go ahead and say we probably don't have another ibanker in attendance.
Don't be so pessimistic, there is more than one here
I figure we have a community of fairly smart individuals I'm sure we have some ibankers out there. Any advice you would give to job seekers out of college? I'm looking for an internship right now
I HIGHLY recommend going to any job fairs your college/business school is holding and talk to every company there... dress nicely and bring your professional resumes. Have you done any internships? Are you graduating this May? Do you want to work on buy side or sell side?
If it's in 4 months, you're in a pickle. Good business jobs are slim pickings for college grads with no internships. If you need a full-time job to pay the bills, you should consider accepting an offer to work for a company as long as they know you're not expecting to rise to the top - be upfront with your bosses because they will be writing you recommendations. Also check linkedin if you have links or are part of groups... they have postings on there (at least in my groups). Expect to do many interviews and you'll get callbacks from some for second round (or third, fourth), then hopefully you get an offer.
I don't know what offerings your school has for job postings, but check with your career center or advisers.
Key points:
- Organized, professional resume
- Practice interview skills
- Always dress professionally when talking to potential employers. This includes shaving so you look clean (no day-after 5 o'clock shadow)
Feel free to PM me for any other questions.
