How much is resume a factor in moving to 2nd rounds?
Hey guys,
Just wondering how much resume/previous work experience factors into moving candidates to second round, specifically work experience. How does experience weigh against personality?
People have always told me that once you get a first round interview the resume goes out the window, it's basically up to you to market yourself to the recruiter.
For example if you had a person who marketed themselves well but had less strong experience vs. someone with ok marketing, but strong BB experience who would you take?
Thanks!
The resume itself : typically none. What you marketed at interview (e.g. strong finance experience): Absolutely.
Yeah, it is difficult to differentiate between resume and how you market yourself, because what you market yourself with is with your work experience. I guess I should rephrase, how much does a previous BB or similarly good internship help you? Do recruiters knowing you worked at x BB already give you a very big advantage in that they already feel favorably toward you.
If you show your competence and fit, it doesn't really matter at that point.
I have an FT S&T offer from Citi/BofA/MER and never worked at a BB before I received my offer. I had three internships but none in banking (accounting major-big 4 and whatnot). I also have no family connections, a 3.4 GPA and go to a non-target. All I did was impress an alumni who is a director in muni's trading and his MD, and they got me an interview. Hopefully that answers your question
