Goldman interview-- PWM summer internship

Hello all, I will be interviewing for a summer intern position for investment management in NYC; can anyone give me any tips on what questions I might expect? I was told the interview would last no longer than 30 min; nothing like IB where it is too crazy. Should I expect more than one interviewer? Should I expect to take notes? We have gone over my resume via phone, should I be prepared to do this again?

Additionally, what should I plan to wear? Ross tells us to wear skirts no shorter than the knee; that "rule" that made the biggest impression on me. Suit color, shoes, any words of advice would be appreciated.

Has anyone been an SA for GS's PWM division before? How did you like it?

Fit and background. Maybe one or two questions about current events/news. They'll probably be assessing how presentable and friendly you are first and foremost. I wouldn't expect technicals at all, but you may get something really basic like "What's a mutual fund? What's a bond?" to make sure you aren't retarded.

 

you should know the market in general, i think it's part of the fit.

anyways, all three of us go to ucla btw, how's internship searching for you buddy

 

oh damn. I didn't apply for the banking jobs..did an internship and didn't really like it. are there any other places still recruiting?

 

had one last week with Goldman, tell me about yourself, walk me through resume, why pwm, if you had a million dollars where would you invest it. Focus on diversity when mentioning where you would invest. Also have a stock prepared to pitch just in case.

HOpe this helps
