Yeah I already said that you don't care but I still felt like mentioning that your ass got handed to you because you're in denial that it did :P There's a difference.

Oh but yes, I do commend your use of smileys! Very good!

This is too good :jiggy:

This.
There's no need to list every task for each job that you've ever done.

Have you got a Skills section? Do you guys write about the skills that you have gained and from which job/experience/activity you gained them? And if you have, how many ?

in my CV, the Skills section is the biggest almost 1/3 of the whole CV and thats why I cant fit it on one page..

Another question is regarding the preparation for the numerical tests..
Do you just google them or buy special books?

I don't have a 'skills' section, I just mention a few in different parts of my CV. My skills are mostly listed on my cover letter, otherwise both would be too similar.

lol numerical tests are like GCSE maths (or possibly easier). But if you really need practise then go on the dhl and psl websites.

Edit: shl not dhl :p:

Hi everyone,

I am about to embark on my penultimate year of law degree studies at Oxford and have up until about six months ago been dead set on a career in commercial law. However, on the advice and encouragement of a fellow student who is a former analyst at Goldman, I have now decided to try out applying for internships at investment banks, preferably within the private wealth management division.

I have submitted my application to Goldman, but am yet to submit the other ones. Could anyone who is more in the know make any suggestions?

Also, I was wondering, since my CV is largely legal-career related, will investment banks consider me?

Thanks!

No doubt you will be able to get interviews because of your university. But in an interview you will need to show an interest in PWM and Banking which may be difficult seeing as you chose an unrelated degree.

I studied Law at undergraduate at a Redbrick, PWM is similar to Commercial Law firms in terms of culture and client oriented skills. It really isn't that hard a sell. Albeit, I did do a year of work experience, passed CFA Level 1 this summer, and am enrolled in the LSE MSc Finance (part-time) course from September.

The MSc is related to longer term plans though. So you may need to spend some time proving that you have the knowledge.

To note - I have just started in PWM.

And they say going to a good university matters :rolleyes:

Just thought I'd post some positivity and a bit of motivation in this thread for those applying :smile:

Thank you for the ecnouragement. It's good to know I might be in with a chance of an interview.

I'll take on board your comments about showing interest in PVM.
