Presenting your IB summer internship experience for FT applications

Hi everyone,

To give a bit of colour, I am just wrapping up (well three weeks to go) my Summer Internship at one of the larger EBs in London (think Rothschild/Lazard etc.). Although I'm having a great time, I am not sure if the bank is for me culture-wise and so I'm looking to apply elsewhere.

I am of course still trying my best to secure that return offer, even if its just to keep as backup. I am of course extremely grateful for the opportunity, but I think I can do better elsewhere.

How can I best present my internship experience on my Motivational Letter, cover letter etc. to get the most credit for it?

Thanks for the answers!
