BoA SA London 2021

Hello fellow monkeys, I hope you're all doing well. I'm starting to write cover letters for my applications to IBD SA roles in London in 2021. I was wondering whether BoA reads cover letters given that they have multiple motivational questions needing to be answered?

Yeah I don't think they had a CL. If so I'd only use it if extra-ordinary circumstances - vet, you have a unique story (immigration, health scare, etc)

 

does it not get old really quickly for those who read these if every single cover letter is just praises of the bank and then a summary of recent deals and league table positions
