Spring Weeks 2012 Thread

K, my first ever stupid question: When putting down A-Level/AS results, do you guys tend to put down a full A-Level just as an A-Level rather than putting it down as an AS level AND a full A-Level?

I have an irrational fear that a HR person will (for some reason) think that I've only done 3 AS subjects and 3 A-Levels.

ok i was read that they dont ask for cv you have to turn your cv and cl into the answers of to the questions. are you bullet pointing for the work experience section?

I just put them down as A levels. I really don't like that page, as it is so cumbersome putting down all your GCSEs when it's written on your CV. You do have to put all your GCSEs down on most apps, don't you guys?

that's fast. when did you apply?

You have to put down all your GCSEs? I was thinking about it but 1) I summarise it as 13 A*-C grades on my CV (before realising that UBS don't ask you for the CV) and 2) There's no option for GCSE in the drop down list for qualification, the lowest it goes to for UK qualifications is the AS and then the A-level.
So I didn't put my GCSEs in I haven't submitted it yet (still answering the damn questions)

Just as an A-level, and then any singular AS subjects.



That's such a rubbish system tbh, and yeah I copied and pasted the points from my CV into the work exp section.

I think that all these SW apps are making me slowly go crazy...

I think you're supposed to but I don't think it's that big an issue if you've put it on your CV. I'm just someone who gets kind of pedantic and OCD about these things, so I would worry about what is probably an insignificant thing. I think 13A*-C is too vague though personally, that could mean anything from 13A*s to 13Cs, and some banks might want to see top GCSEs.
If there is no option on the drop down on a form, then you don't need to worry about filling it in, it's just that on some forms there is an option.

Join the club.
I've been on the UBS app for ages because I HAVE to finish it in one go, because its site is atrocious and it keeps deleting the 'saved' draft...so it forces us to fill in the same app all over again from scratch, good times!

Has anyone applied for the ICAP programme?

Can I ask what did people talk about as being the next bubble for BNP Paribas?

yep



condoms

going to be a huge rise in the population, people getting concerned about this and the overcrowded cities and not enough food productions
therefore people going to buy so many condoms and condoms are gonna be bought too much
Just as we predicted with property, there will be massive condom buying. Since condom manufacturers were not expecting their product to be used as a store of wealth, demand will vastly exceed supply. The price of condoms will skyrocket
benchmark of all value will start to be the standard white latex condom. there will be a strategy in which everyone measures the worth of all their assets in terms of the number of condoms they exchange for.
payments will be made in secure electronic claims to allocated boxes of condoms, held in high-security condom vaults in the condom district of Zurich




joking btw, i didnt actually write this...

Has anyone applied for the ICAP programme?
