On the Lazard app, what's the certificates and licenses part for?

Hey sorry man, I was out, just saw the message. I think if you have passed some special test (like the Bloomberg Aptitute Thing), you can put it there. Maybe gives you an edge if you have something lacking in your profile that you want to boost up, show them you got a good grade.

Like for me, since I'm not native English speaker I could have put my grade at the IELTS (International English Language Testing System or something like that) to show I'm alright when speaking english. But since I study in the UK I think they'll already understand I'm alright when speaking/writing so no need to do it, and adding it would be redundant.

Depends on people I guess... But yeah if you got a good grade at a test that's not uni related, add it there.

So who applied to Lazard?
Where you invited to an online test after applying (like a day or so) or right when applying?

Got an invite about 24h after applying. Just completed the verbal. Think I did alright.. Will keep everyone up.
I'd say I'm pretty good with verbal that's why I went for it but I still need some practice for numericals.

Btw Credit Suisse opened I don't know when

What website prep do you use? I'm on JobTestPrep.
