Doing the recruiting thing again
So, last year I tried to get a job in finance, but didn't get any offers. I think I've greatly improved my networking / interview skills and want to give it another try. How will I be viewed as a person one year removed from undergrad working at an engineering firm. As for my background I went to a non target and graduated magna cum laude in engineering. While there I was part of a large student investment group. I'm hoping to better leverage alumni this time around to obtain more interviews and hopefully land and S&T offer. Thoughs?
Thanks
I believe firms want to hear a Finance-related story. Something that shows your interest in finance, so it's not all connections. I could be wrong on the import of this
Did you get any feedback from interviewers your first time around? It will certainly help that you have improved your networking and interview skills but what have you done to make yourself a more attractive candidate on paper?
I've been under the strict impression that, except when banks are understaffed and take "off-cycle" laterals, no one but boutiques (ie, not BB/MM or anyone with a formal analyst program that starts/ends in the summer) will hire people who are NOT in their final year of school (sr year undergrad, MSF, or 2nd yr MBA). I've heard they want people who will finish school then start work; if you're already out of school and unemployed, you may get a job elsewhere and take it (plus you're unattractive b/c you have no job), or if you are employed you may just decide to stay at your current job. There's a lot that could happen in a year if you're not going to be in school between fall recruiting and summer start dates. But, I’m not in banking so I'd be curious to hear how true this is.
