Career Resources
where and how do you apply?
On the G.S. website. I had the site bookmarked, but they recently re-did the recruitment section (in the last week). Now it's made up of videos and some other corny stuff.
If you search around on the site, you can probably still find it.
Great strategy Ham:
1) Publicize/promote/announce the program all over wallstreetoasis to insure more people apply to the already super-competitive program
2) Get together your subpar 3.6 sate-school resume
3) Then you apply
I think anyone on this site and who is looking for a job in S&T, would not fear competition. I am sure Goldman Sachs, does not need this site to promote their elite program, that allows to leap into the SA program.
btw, if you google you can find the program and the dates, on a cached page. Applications were open after November 15, due by January 10th it says.
deadjackal,
Your entirely accurate surmise has cut me to the bone!
Insecure much?
LMAO
first, Im a junior
second, spring programs in the u.s. are very rare unlike in u.k.; not as well known. apps are probably still increasing each successive year. 10-20 more from this post probably won't matter for a given individual but still. Plus I thought I was being funny
third, if you're 'LMAO' is directed at my depression/insecurity than I hope you get yours
last, I can't check this thread again b/c if I do I'll probably become an a-hole and go out on a idiotic angry tirade like I did with fp175
lol :D...why that thread was entertaining, and you made good points.
looks like a good opportunity, but how hard do you think it is to get?
theHam1: don't you mean "inaccurate surmise"? I don't think anyone is impressed that you can use a thesarus
Sarcasm.
If it were "inaccurate", it wouldn't have "cut me to the bone."
Thesaurus? How small is your vocabulary?
I don't see any "big" words. Seriously though. Thesaurus?
If you want people on this board to hug / coddle you for your chemical imbalance and lack of social skills, find another board.
Grow a pair.
hahahaha
You would have to be crazy to choose this over Cancun or Acapulco.
I guess I'm crazy then?
GS actively recruits for its spring program at several target schools. FYI, from last year's post (January 2007 posting):
"Strong performers from the Spring Program will receive offers for the 2008 Equities and FICC Summer Analyst Program. A select few may have the opportunity to be placed in the upcoming 2007 Summer Analyst Program. "
Good luck
mrbellaiche, you're an idiot and can't read. That quote ("FYI" its the same as the current posting faggot) says nothing about them recruiting from the spring program on campus. But Maybe you're just pointing out the obvious (e.g. telling us information we can all access from the actual website). If that's the case you spend too much time here.
I apologize but I have no interest in this program and did not bother to check the official GS site. However after googling that phrase you are correct, the information is listed on the official page. However, I'm simply trying to let people know that the spring program is very competitive and that all these programs have official resume drops at target schools. I don't want to turn this into another target school vs non-target debate, but it seems like you are extremely insecure about the possibility of Goldman Sachs actively seeking to fill these Spring positions from its targets... This program is a lot more competitive than you think.
Again, from last year's posting.

It's very competitive. Basically, like interviewing for Summer Analyst Program, in that there is a resume drop and then on-campus interview.
I believe they take roughly 12 people per session, and I know th slots are typically filled by your usual suspects (Ivies, MIT, Duke, Stanford, Chicago..etc)
According to one of my friends that did the program last spring, the actual program is more than just rotating from desk to desk, but also being quizzed by traders on what you are learning. Thats essentially how they determine the top performers.
only 12 people?? Must be over 1000+ applicants.
That would make admission harder than transferring into harvard, lol.
The UK program admissions last year were something like 40 out of 4000.
Goldman Sachs Spring Break Securities Program (Originally Posted: 01/17/2008)
Does anyone know about this? Sounds interesting but I am not sure as to the competition level (obviously high but insane?) and the number of candidates they accept.
come on dude, spend your spring break on the beach chasing tail not at Goldman
I would prefer to chase Goldman's tail, thank you.
agreed with omega
Its for soph's only! I think only people from targets have a shot.
I think its worth it, they're footing the bill + if you are not sure about a future in banking it can be an experience that will help you in your future decisions.
it is insane competition; get it and you're probably a future blackstone

nice thanks guys. Yeah and according to GS they place top performers that year and "strong" performers get advanced offers for 2009.

Goldman Sachs Spring Break Program 2011 (Originally Posted: 01/13/2011)
Hey guys,
Anyone know when we should start hearing back for the GS sophomore spring break programs?
My London application status is currently under review but my NYC one still just says application received. Does anyone have their NYC applications under review? Im wondering if they are only looking at London applications right now.
Thanks
Panama beach spring break >> GS spring break. Just saying man.
ill take cancun over both
I know some NYC offers have gone out.
i guess that means i haven't gotten an interview then :(
I had an interview this week....apparently, we're supposed to hear back by late next week
I'm also wondering this because my applications say the same thing. Do they not tell you if you were declined? Does the "application received" change to "denied" or something?
I applied to two divisions for the spring program, and the one I interviewed for changed to "Selected for Interview" and the other one I didn't hear from (and prob didn't get into) is still "Application Received"
So I think it's not a good sign unless some of the divisions haven't started interviewing..
does anybody know if decisions have been made for the Securities division?
