IB Training on Resume?
Should a person who participated in Analyst Exchange/Wall Street Prep/Analyst Advantage/Training the Street list their participation on their resume or talk about it during interview?
Shorter answer: it depends on the rest of your resume Longer answer: it depends on the content of the rest of your resume. If you have previous banking experience with some modeling, and a generally solid resume, then this would probably just take up space and act to clutter the resume. If, however, you don't have previous modeling experience and your internships are less than impressive and/or you've got some space to fill on your resume without creating a cluttered appearance, then by all means you can put it on your resume. Will it significantly enhance your candidacy, probably not. Will it hurt your candidacy, absolutely not. This is one of those things where if you've got the space and want to show that you've at least seen some modeling, then by all means throw it on your resume. If you've already got a packed resume, it isn't necessary.
Regarding whether to talk about it during the interview, that depends on the same two factors as above. If you've got a strong resume then it shouldn't really come up - if it does, talk about it, if it doesn't, don't bring it up as it isn't necessary. If you've got a bit of a weaker resume, or less banker-focused resume, then it will probably be on your resume and the interviewer may very well ask about it - in which case you should definitely go into it. Either way, however, if the interviewer doesn't ask about it, I wouldn't just bring it up for the sake of talking about it - in banking interviews it is rarely smart to bring up experiences that are not highly impressive as this only gives the interviewer fuel to ask dozens of probing questions that you might not be ready for.

That's very helpful.
i placed it on my resume and it helped... bankers are still skeptical though, but it shows an interest in banking
Credit Suisse Training the Street - Resume Inquiries (Originally Posted: 11/07/2012)
I recently attended a Credit Suisse "class" - Training the Street - in my university, and was wondering if this is worth adding into my resume. If so, do I add it under Education or Skills? Thanks!
I went to the same event and felt it wasn't that selective. But if you still have space on your resume and cannot come up with better things, then this one won't hurt I guess.
i'd add it to the lower part of your resume under skills, activities, and other
i'd mention it on a Credit Suisse resume (or cover letter?), but might be a stretch otherwise
