First Year College Student Attending Info Sessions
Hi I am a first year student an a top US school and this week some BB firms are hosting information sessions on my campus. What type of questions should I ask? Should I ask for business cards/exchange information with recruiters? I am thinking to ask them about "what I should do to enter the field" etc, what do you guys suggest?
Help appreciated,
Thanks all.
Ask them that type of questions you should ask and then ask them those questions.
fu
haha.
Seriously though...this is fantastic that you're attending these events. Ask questions that you're genuinely interested in finding more information about.
The earlier you learn about Financial Services, the easier it will be for you to narrow down a career that's a good fit for you, as we all know that as a fresh grad, you have a unique "in" to various divisions vs. an experienced candidate.
Be aggressive, engage yourself, smile.
honestly, having done a few of these things (on both sides), im not sure if i would be able to take a freshman seriously. it seems a bit early for me. but, hey, if you can be energetic and bright and driven (something i wasnt when i was a freshman), then go for it.
They aren't going to want to "exchange contact information," with anyone (especially a freshman). It will be packed, and you'll probably be lucky to get much 1 on 1 interaction.
Depending on who it is, some MD will probably read a script along the lines of "We're great because of our people. You may be worried about joining X due to the current market conditions, but believe me, in the marketplace today, and in conditions like this, our clients need our services more than ever." You'll stand there in your suit, trying to take them seriously.
Then, you'll then probably have an opportunity to "schmooze" with some younger bankers, who will stand there and smile and spew some BS about how they love their jobs, all the while wondering why they have to listen to other people talk about their career aspirations when they are simply hoping to have a job by this time next week.
Really, save yourself the time. Just my opinion...
