BlackRock SA 2021

Hi all, I didn't see a post for this so I thought I'd make one. The postings for SA 2021 are up already and have gone through the Virtual Cover Letter. Was wondering if anyone was further along in the process or had any other insight.

 

There are two question, you have 3 minutes to preapre for each of them and 90 second to answer. The questions are : Why BlackRock and why the specific position that you applied? Tell me some recent news that you've been following & how is it related to Blackrock?

 

Mate, excuse me for asking but these questions were for the 2021 recruiting year? Because last year for the 2020 positions that I had applied, the questions was excactly the same as the one you mentioned.

 

Do you guys know if the "less than 18 month full time work experience" requirement refers to ANY work experience or just finance related????

 

Hey guys! I applied to the Founder's program/accelerator and ranked FMA first. I spoke with an associate involved in recruiting for FMA last Friday and told me they were finalizing first rounds on 8/14. I just received an email and I'm a bit confused as to if it qualifies as a "first round."

I submitted the application weeks ago, and I just received this email the Monday after they finalize first rounds saying I'm being "considered" and that I can "expect a status update from each business I applied to." This language is a bit vague, but the associate literally told me that he was sorting through resumes that hadn't already been weeded out with the GPA requirement to make the first-round list. The fact that this email says I'm being considered at least indicates that I've made it past first screener, and I don't know why they would contact me after they made the first round list if I hadn't made it...

This has all just left me very confused. Help!!

 

you're really over thinking all of this – I applied to the accelerator and got this update as did my friend. It's just an update/confirmation email... You'll know soon enough if you qualified for first rounds.

 

Hey mate. If you don't mind me asking what questions did they asked you in the VCL?

 

Just curious, but how do you know that Accelerator Superdays will be technical? Will the Accelerator superday be like half behavioral and half technical or mostly technical? I applied for the finance and internal audit role (through the accelerator program), so not sure how technical it will be for super day

 

If I got the original fast track email a while ago but haven't gotten first round info yet, should I assume I was weeded out? I applied to investment - client portfolio solutions.

 

So sorry you were rejected, thanks for the encouragement though!

 

Any idea about whether referrals from current employees at the firm have much of an impact on hiring decisions?

 

Did anyone hear back from accelerator FMA or Finance Superday?

 

If my interviewers didn't reply to my email, does this mean that I'm basically rejected or have a lower chance of getting an offer? I interviewed with BlackRock yesterday but no one has responded to my email

 

Anybody know how long they generally take after superdays to give out offers?

 

Yes, these most recent superdays were all for the Accelerator Program. You're by no means weeded out if you weren't interviewed in this program. You had to tick off a box regarding your eligibility on the app, because it's essentially a diversity track.
