It's beyond your control at this point, but don't take training lightly. Apparently my shop, at least some people, did pay attention how people performed during training last year. I was surprised to hear one associate telling me that he heard I was doing well on training.
Obviously your actual performance for 8-9 weeks would matter much more significantly, but don't leave (potentially) unnecessary negative impressions from the beginning. Summer is relatively a short period to leave an impression to get an offer, so try best not to f*ck up on small things.
My two cents.
Know a kid who didn't get an offer cause he failed to complete some BS compliance/HR test. You've been warned.
Missing deadline for psychometric test help (Originally Posted: 09/19/2016)
So i've been in the hospital for the past few days and the deadline for my psychometric test for Citi group is today, however i'm nowhere near prepared for it.
Should I call them and explain the situation in hopes of them extending the deadline? Or should I just give it a shot (most likely fail) and waste it?
Thanks
I am afraid they might not take this into consideration so don't make your hope up - but definitely worth trying. You lose nothing good luck
missed assessment test (Originally Posted: 12/05/2011)
Hey so I got a message to take an assessment test last week but was traveling. I just missed the deadline and got rejected. What do I do?
EDIT:
What if I got an associate to push my resume through later this month? We're meeting in person after Christmas. This is for HK SA
I suppose you could try contacting HR (if you have their contact info) and pleading your case, but most likely, you're shit out of luck.
Dont travel during recruiting season.
