Part time Student during my last year
Hello, I am a last year BEng student. In september, I still had to take 19 credits so decided to split it in 2 semesters 8/11. I wasnt allowed and didnt want to take 19 credits in one shot. I didnt find any good 1 credit class and my work load is already big. Does this look bad on any applications?...
Application and transcript

Salary question
I have been in the application process for a major company and gone through some of their rounds. I am at the point now where they do ask me to disclose my salary. However, my salary right now is pretty low and I dont want: 1.) Them to think I am not good because I dont earn much, 2.) Give them the...
Applied to wrong job, tell someone or just go with it?
Long story short, I chose Advisory - IT Risk Assurance instead of just Assurance/Audit. Dumb mistake, but I was doing all my applications in one day, and say the word "assurance" (which is what some of the big 4 call their audit positions) and figured it was what I wanted. Would emailing someone...
College Career Portal or LinkedIn
So I recently found a buyside position I'm very interested in that has been advertised on both my college's careers portal (recent alum: 2011) and LinkedIn. Any advice as to which I should submit my application on? I'm guessing LinkedIn would have more garbage applications, but at the same time my...

Are rejections ok?
Hi everybody, I have applied to several internship programmes last year (all S&T) and got a rejection for all of them. I have done my undergraduate degree at a non-target-university in Europe with an equivalent of a good A- (or around 3.4 GPA). Due to the fact that I will be getting an advanced...
Need experience for job; Need job for experience
Some internship postings are for "rising sophomores & rising juniors", yet they require "prior work experience". To me, that's just pure bizarre. It's almost like they expect you to have an IBD internship right out of high school. Don't these firms know that 18/19 (or even 20) year olds don't...
Is it better to apply on a Monday/Tuesday as opposed to a Friday?
I am about to send in an application for an entry level position consulting firm, where I am going to use a partner's referral. I'm not really sure if I should send it (and an email to him letting him know I applied) on a Friday. Is there a higher chance that it will be seen on a Friday with a "I'll...

Goldman Online Application
The online GS application has non-mandatory sections where you can fill in things such as leadership experience, AP scores, etc. There are also mandatory fields, like cover/motivation letter (where you have to copy/paste, can't upload), etc. Do you actually fill these out, and does it even matter? I...
cover letter/resume
can they be in different fonts if they both look good individually that way, or should they be the same - do they look sloppy/uncoordinated when sent together? thanks
Why does Piper Jaffray ask if you worked at E&Y?
Why does the Piper Jaffray SA app ask if you have worked at Ernst & Young ? Does that disqualify you or give you an advantage? Does EY audit them or something, and they can't hire someone that has audited them? Makes no sense to me. Do other banks ask these kind of questions too?

Standardized test scores on a company's job application
I am applying to firms online (in the UK now), and many places ask for standardized test scores such as SAT and GMAT. Would it be a bad idea if I left these blank? I was not able to get excellent scores (mid 1300s and upper 600s) and don't want to get dinged from a first round interview because of...
Deal Sheet?
I contacted an MD recently at a regional investment bank, who is also an alum from my school. He requested a cover letter, resume, and deal sheet. Is a deal sheet just another term for a transcript or does it include actual deals I have been involved with? What Is A Deal Sheet? Resumes have very...
