I've not applied through SEO but have got an offer through a direct application. I have heard that you can ask to join even if they haven't assisted you through the process. Does anybody have any experience if there is any value in this and, in a nutshell, whether this will be beneficial or not?

I should mention that I do meet the eligibility requirements.

Hey everyone, I just found out that a very good friend of mine who is at Barcap (Sales) actually went through SEO London - Do you think it be worth contacting him and asking him to let seo know of my application? (iv just had my meet and greet today)

Henrietta, I am attending the training session on the 4th.

Like the previous Kenneth before me I am also applying for capital markets, although in this climate the competition is really intense.

I think SEO London is a great organization considering it provides you with training in relevant technical and soft skills. If you read the website it states that not only do they help you with developing interview techniques but it also helps with Financial Modeling and relevant skills.

People suggesting that a candidate coming from this group is weaker then the average candidate have no basis to say this at all. The fact is I have secured interviews without help of SEO and would still want to join.

See you on Thursday.

i think it's worth a shot. Which division have you applied for?
How did your meet and greet go? what time was it?

Iv applied for trading. my meet and greet was at 10am. It went really well - there were quite a lot of candidates there who didnt actually know much about trading - i.e. they knew the stuff that is mentioned in the SEO description of trading requirements however they had no experience within trading and it was easy to differentiate myself through technical knowledge. I was a little intimidated though due to the calibre of the students i.e there were a lot of top london uni/oxbridge students in my meet and greet (most likely also straigh A students) studing top courses - so I am bit worried that SEO will lean more towards your top grade students

Nb i easily meet the requirements and go to warwick.

How did you find it - did they say when you are likely to hear from the partner banks with regards to an offer?
