Teamwork questions

Hey guys,

I happen to have many teamwork experiences that involved responsibilites at my dorm (boarding school). I just fear that I may come across as snobbish etc if I mention my time at boarding school.

What should I do? Go for it or hide my past in the closet? I'm not one of those tossers that take everything for granted. After all I worked as a dish washer for a whole summer...

I don't believe it would come off as snobbish at all. You had duties with other dorm mates that you had to execute. Most bankers are from elite schools, and elite schools tend to be made up of many kids who attended these very prep/boarding schools. Speak the truth but have a motive and story for why the teamwork aspect works in your favor.

Does that also apply to securitised derivatives (structuring) at GS ?
