Spring Weeks 2012 Thread

It was ironic. Just one or two days ago they said to kill of 2000 jobs (edit: in IBD) or something like that.

I would apply for JP soon because it's deadline is coming up! And also to BarCap because it's on a rolling basis.

Yeh as soon as i can answer their stupid questions. Barcap and RBS applications are so long winded.

Is someone applying to CS? I'm out.

I thought they didn't review apps until the new year?

Reply 447

I thought the same way.

One thing's also interesting: today came an email from DB in which they asked me to upload CV, high school certificate etc. But I did upload them. After having logged in there I saw that there was an application for an asset mngmnt internship in Frankfurt - which I didn't apply for! The same time, they rejected me for the spring insight (but there is written on their FAQ page that they won't send rejections until the places aren't full. I think there are still places - deadline is in Dec. - I wrote them an email back but didn't hear anything yet)

No, they review all apps received at the end of this month and then after the deadline

Wow, that's really strange. Not sure what to make of that really. Why did they need high school certificates? Did you have examples of leadership & EC's?

Doesnt High School Certifate mean Abitur (D) or Matura (CH)? I meant this. haha.

Yes, it's really strange. Perhaps I impressed them so ****ing much that they wanted to offer me a right internshipt straight away lol. Haha.

My only EC's are that I worked for nearly 3 years in high school time 20%, and now am working for an asset mngmnt firm (but am anything relevant doing, though).

Hoping that things will go well.

I've got two questions:

1. How will they check up on our A-level grades? I haven't received my certificates yet. For people who finished their A-levels this summer, when are you getting your certificates?

2. I have three cases of work experience and they're all very relevant so that's taking up a lot of my CV. I find myself struggling to find space for going into detail about ECs (although it's the usual malarkey: finance societies, sports clubs, charity fundraising). I've listed them in two lines in my "Interests" section, would that be okay or do I need to go in more depth about them? I'd rather prioritise space for experience.

thanks and good luck to everybody.

It might have been due to your scores on the numerical tests etc, I've heard that it's all down to practice and technique. Please keep us updated on the rest of your applications.

btw I know someone who has a SW offer at UBS, he didn't apply for it through the usual methods though.

Well, DB didn't even send me a link for any test. I think they just decide on basis of your CV+CL.

**** happens - life goes on :smile:

Btw: yes, it's all about practice. Even if I won't get any SW offer, I will certainly be prepared for summer internship apps (well, just the tests though:P)

A very good point being made here. Even if you get rejected for SW at least it will prepare you for the application process, tests and interviews (if it gets to that stage) as practice for summer internships. So even if you've ended up with no offer, it's still quite useful.

Hey guys, if I'm doing a 4 year course will I be automatically rejected for spring weeks this year?
Thanks and good luck with your applications!
