Summer 2016 Applications

Just checked I think they are. Took a look at the online form, need a cover letter. Do u know the application process for Greenhill?

When do you think would be a good time to send of the application for greenhill?

Hey, thanks for the reply!

Ah ok I see. Do you mind if I ask which firm you're currently working for?

How did you find the entire application process for the industrial placement? Which area are you working in right now? I'm in 2 minds over whether to submit a 1-page CV or a 2-page one! The only difference between the two is that in the 1-page one, I've removed all the bullet points stating what I did in each experience, but just left a brief overview of each one, whilst the 2-page one includes everything.

Thanks a lot for agreeing to answer my queries!

depends on what area you're interested and what lev of depth you want.

1 page, only list down few exp you can explain. You don't need 5 internships on ur cv

Currently working for Citi, in the FX department of Technology - not quite the same as the front office, but I will be working at the trading floor at some point.

For me, I had contacts and so was able to go to the early assessment centre. (This is particularly useful as they hire on a rolling basis), I had to complete some online tests in early September, and then was called back to the final assessment centre early November. Heard the next day. Banks are usually okay with 2-page CVs, it allows you to put in more information about yourself. We actually got given a booklet from university and we were recommended to use a 2-page CV. You should include everything, as the CV is what you use to get them interested in hiring you - leaving out potentially crucial information could be the cost of getting the job.

Ok so you're saying less actual experiences on the CV, but 2-3 bullet points explaining each one, rather than 4-5 but no bullet points explaining?

how will they know what on earth you did at the 4-5? ofc! you should have your 3 most recent with bps for each, that leaves me good space for extra currics etc too.

How important are extra curricular activities in comparison to internship experience?

I have 5 relevant finance internships on my resume which I want to keep, but I think not much extra curricular. Just stuff like tutoring for statistics, member of some finance clubs and elected member of the university board.

Due to the little space I described the EC very short. Should I leave one internship out and expand the EC?

what ive seen from acs etc is those who are at oxbridge generally have one extra curric that they focus on, those outside, so lse ucl warwick etc have a much more all round cv so to speak. its not about in comparison, i guess its just about being able to maintain responsibilities in a variety of interests, thats what the ib wants from a candidate. they are hugely important, and when combined with internship experience, makes for a top cv.

tutorings good, so explain what specifically youve taught, a level or gcse etc, finance clubs is good, being on exec is very big,id put that at the top of the section for extra currics, explain what your role will entail, the size of the society so how many people youre responsible for etc. good luck

maybe for tech it differs but i can conclusively say I have never ever heard this to be true, the complete opposite for FO, one page cvs. a person asked an MS md at a talk way back in first term are the response was a laugh followed by if I can fit to one page you most definitely can. There is no chance that two page is better.

Is the internships for corporate finance less competitive than IB/Big 4?

You're right, it hasn't opened for Consulting. It just says the applications for 2015 have now closed.

can some1 confirm that pwc summer 2016 internship hasn't opened for consulting?
