Contacting your campus recruiter
How do you find out who your campus recruiter is (career services?), and is it usually the same person each year? Is it worth networking with these HR people, or should you just focus on the analysts, associates, etc.?
Network with everyone, analysts and associates, of course, but HR recruiters as well, and career service reps also. Don't treat networking as a chore, treat it as an opportunity. HR people may not help, but then again, it doesn't hurt to have your name be on their minds as they speak with potential employers. And, regarding your campus recruiter, I am assuming that you are referring to your college employment recruiter, in which case yes, that would be in your career services department.

If you're reading that on a firm's website, they are probably talking about the HR person in charge of recruiting at your campus (assumning the firm recruits on your campus). Some companies will have a section of their careers website dedicated to your school's recruiting, it will have information like when they are visiting and who your "campus recruiter" is.
Any suggestions on how to approach these campus recruiters before they come on campus to do their presentations this fall? What sort of questions are good to ask?
sometimes the campus recruiter will be a junior banker at the bank.
Do some research. If they are alumni, great way to start off by just emailing them asking for a phone call.
if they are not ( which is probably the case most of the time,) just email them saying you are interested in the opportunity, want to talk more about it. It's why they are there for, so they have no reason not to talk to you.
But be aware that sometimes that phone call might just be your first interview since sometimes the on campus recruiter will be the one interviewing. Treat it like an interview
I have had informational interviews that turned out to be interviews as the conversation progressed.
Value of BB campus recruiters (Originally Posted: 07/19/2012)
How valuable is it to speak with recruiters?
Should you just drop them a line when you submit your application on the company website/school career website?
Especially if you are non-target, how often you should speak with recruiter outside of asking for deadlines?
Do they have any say in who gets interviewed? And they are pretty much the 1st round interviewers. correct/
They do screen resumes so if you develop a rapport with them and they like you then they will schedule you a first round interview.
Do campus recruiters read online applications? (Originally Posted: 12/21/2013)
The title speaks for itself. Or for target schools, do senior bankers just look at resumes through the school's career portal? I just realized that there's something in my online application for a certain BB that may cause a discrepancy.
Yes, they do. I've gotten interviews from only applying online (no networking, no contact with the firm).
lol senior bankers have better shit to do than look at resumes.
I've read that 95%+ of the time, recruiters don't even read cover letters and just look at resumes. Is that true?
Major Campus Recruiters (Originally Posted: 09/18/2008)
I'm a Junior at UNF, I'm a Finance major on the investment track, I'm planning on taking mandarin classes for my foreign language, my wife is teaching me cantonese, and I plan on moving to HK after my studies, looking at getting a CFA charter. The major firms that recruit from my university are, KPMG, Merrill Lynch, Deutsche Bank, Fidelity, Liberty Mutual, and Citi. I was looking at Merrill mostly, and then things got worse for them. Now I'm mostly looking at KPMG, DB, Fidelity, and Citi (still interested in Merrill though.) Could someone help me as to what they would recommend that I do to be able to transfer from Jacksonville FL to HK, should I get the job in Jacksonville first and then transfer, or just try to apply for a job on the other side of the world. Keep in mind, I will be meeting these recruiters shortly, and I have roughly 4 years in both commercial banking and Financial Services.
Thanks

Getting to finance shops abroad in Asia is going to be nigh impossible for you if you are not absolutely FLUENT in the language, possibly with the exception of Singapore. I'm fairly sure that Mandarin fluency is also a requirement in HK, too, since that is the Chinese language for business. I went to a target school and I've never heard of a single person going to China IB outfits whose first language wasn't Mandarin or who wasn't utterly fluent.
If you want to go to China for personal reasons, that is one thing. But for business purposes it doesn't make much sense, since you are at an inherent disadvantage compared to candidates who are not only fluent in one or more Chinese dialects, but are conversant with Chinese business practices and have possibly even lived (or are currently living) in the country.
But to answer your question, you should try getting a job here and then contemplate a transfer eventually. Best of luck with that.
