Has anyone done Nomura First Step?

I'm looking to apply for the sixth form programme at Nomura and I was wondering whether anyone here has done it before? If so, how was it? What did you have to do? What relevant skills did you put in your CV for the application?
Really? No one?

I haven't done it yet but I got my acceptance letter today, I just spoke about my jobs in my local building society, being treasurer of the student union and doing the finance baccalaureate. I think they just want you to show evidence of your interest in finance good luck!

Hi. Well done on your acceptance! What did you write about in the covering letter?. Was it just your skills and work experience or did you also put why you liked Nomura and banking in general?

Thanks, I wrote mostly about my work experience and skills and why I'm interested in finance. I didn't put that must about nomura specifically but it would probably be good to mention that. Have you applied yet? It's probably best to get in early as possible
