What differentiate Deutsche Bank from its competitors?

I am doing my application at Deutsche Bank for a summer internship in London, and I have to answer this question in the online form.

I found loads of information about the company, but I really need something particular that could make my application stand out.

I am applying for a corporate banking division.

How to Stand Out in a Job Application

No matter where you live, filling out a job application is just one part of the job search and interview process. In order to make sure your application stands out be sure to:

  • Follow directions and include all requested info
  • Research the company and make sure the application is customized for this job
  • Network with people at the company so you can make sure you are highlighting the most important information

For Deutsche Bank, the WSO forum has been active discussing the firm’s current status and if it’s risky to take full-time offers or a 2019 SA with them.

Hah. @HFer_wannabe, online apps are what work in Europe.

They are how it works. But no the only or best way. Often with networking in LDN you'll still have to do an app but HR will let you through straight away as they've been primed by your contact.

Fair enough, but the feeling in the US is that networking all the way when in Europe a fairly large number of analysts are recruited online. But I agree.

I asked for advice, since I have one chance to do it right and want to have it on my side. But thank you anyway for being helpful.
