Bull**** or genuine message? What do you think?

Received the same thing, although I call it bull****, considering last year people waited until mid-March for a reply + not that many Citi offers floating around on the boards, which would be a first.

Genuine, presume if anyone else who has applied logs on it will say 'Program Full' too. Means they don't seem to have actually even looked at our applications...

Citi have finished:

We've now completed our recruitment for the 2012 1st Year Programme CITI Quest and so unfortunately can no longer consider your application. If further opportunities become available, we'll be sure to get in touch.

Thanks for your interest in Citi and good luck with your future applications.

All the best,

They didn't/ haven't offered to transfer you to the Citi Certificat in Finance programme?

For some reason guys Citi emails went to my junk. I got an invitation to numerical in there about 2 weeks ago and didn't notice. Then a HR lady called me up and asked if I was still interested. Odd.

anyone heard back regarding Citi Certificate in Finance??

I got an email offering to transfer which I accepted, uploaded new cover letter, did the numerical, but still haven't heard anything.

Anyone else?

Same... I didn't get a phonecall though, just randomly logged on and saw that I'd been asked to do a numerical within 5 days... about a month ago. Whoops.

Same thing happened to me with Citi, never received an email, but I did receive the invitation to numerical test (2 weeks ago) through the application portal. Does anyone know how the Citi test is, heard it is different to the other ones?

Out of interest, what did people write about in their BNP essay?

Barcap rejection.

Yea same, barcap rejection.

My bnpp essay was mainly about the high valuations in the tech sector and how a bubble may be emerging, i.e Facebook valuation, private investment in twitter, hp bid for autonomy etc...

I got an offer from BNPP.

To be honest with you, I think my essay was very poor. I can't speak for the standards of others but personally speaking I must have only got an offer due to my CV. Because I really doubt my essay was any good.

barcap rejection

Same for BarCap. As for my essay for BNPP - higher education bubble and my views against a 'gold bubble'.

Anyone care to share what they have going for them on their CV's?

Just want an idea on the sort of things people are getting spring weeks on e.g. x work experience

Absolutely horrific. It's not SHL or Kenexa, something really really weird and complicated. Not multiple choice, you actually have to give them the answer.

It is actually multiple-choice, although there are 10-30 choices.
