Whilst some finance gurus may be worrying about their jobs in the current climate, people with a specific background may actually have increased opportunities to get into finance. In a steadily growing market, the route to get in VCs or PEs seems quite clear-cut. You can be an analyst in an...
NY Wang:
A general mistake made by some interviewees is to use the wrong tone in their answers. For example, a line such as "I want to learn something" is much better than saying "I know something." Imagine that you have worked in the industry for 25 years, you would hardly agree that the interviewee with...

Good Morning, Afternoon or Evening..depending on when your reading...grab yourself a coffee...or a glass of wine and enjoy! Today seems an apt day to write this post..not because its April Fools (and I will come onto that in a minute) but because its typically what us financial types refer to as...

Let me know if this sound's like your situation. You worked at a place for a few years. It's an OK job but not very stimulating. You decide to go to business school but you don't have enough money. You continue working at that job for another year so you can save enough to pay for part of the...

In the job hunting world, networking is treated like the cure-all to job searching problems. Here are some of the "statistics" on networking I found: 90% of jobs are not advertised. 65% to 90% of jobs are filled by networking. Networking is the best way to find a job. Talking to people working in...

Let’s face it. After 8 years of Rick Wagoner’s management, GM is definitely worse than it was before. The roots to this terrible outcome cannot be related just to the economy downturn that is affecting the car markets. The lack of vision toward the customer’s needs is the main issue for what...

Recently the ECB reduced the Interest rate (Interest rate on the main refinancing operations that provide the bulk of liquidity to the banking system) from 1.5% to 1.25%. Even if the economist had forecasted a 'to 1%', the market reaction in the (Eur/Usd) was almost flat, hence the traders were...

There is good news on campus. True, our class employment report is still 10-15% behind that of the class of 2008 ... but many of my classmates that hadn't found a job yet are eventually getting offers. During this late recruiting term (of early May) companies are back for recruiting. So, is it the...

Hey readers. This is What Do You Do With ABA In English?. I'm here to rep the arts graduate experience. In doing so I hope to reassure you that when YOU graduate with YOUR arts degree you will be vaguely employable. So here's the skinny. I went to uni in 2005 and I graduated the summer just passed,...

Ah, Paris. So, I got into work at about half-past nine - not that anyone's here to check up on me. Then I chatted to the other intern,Charlotte, about whether she's going to get a job as a chalet girl when her stage is over. As we're chatting, her boss and her boss's boss walk by on the way out to...

I have a confession to make. I went to see 'Confessions Of A Shopaholic'. Worse, I think I enjoyed it. I have to give you a bit of context on this: I met up with other interns and we wanted to go to the cinema, and we wanted a comedy. It was on Saturday afternoon, and, well, this was the pick. But...

The other day, in the tea break, one of my colleagues was finishing a sentence and pronounced "culture" all weird.

If you're an Arts graduate - especially one with an English degree - I recommend writing copy. The money's not that reliable, as you get jobs as and when you like, but if you're living at home and you're not worried about paying rent/bills, this is fine. You can work all day in your PJs, which many...

It was fascinating and utterly addictive -...
