Hi all, I am a 1st year Business Economics student at Queens University Belfast. Looking at obtaining insight/internship in IB, also have a keen interest in PE industry.

Recently moved into uni and don’t have a jacket on me at the moment is a button up dress shirt appropriate attire?

Getting into an elite career is hard. There simply is no room for error. If you have one mistake, you are giving a reason for rejection. How do I know this? I would reject candidates all the time for this. I saw someone's linkedin profile today who had a mispelling. I flagged this to him. He had an incredibly growth mindset however and took it well. This is the characteristic of someone who will excel and do well. Perfection sadly is the baseline. One typo, one formatting error, one spelling error is enough for rejection. Please focus on this in any application we send 💪

Specificity. In each and every data point Is our CV highly clear on achievements? Is our cover letter on EXACTLY WHY we want to enter Goldman Sachs? Perhaps it's the Goldman Sachs University? In an interview are we giving clear star-3 examples? Specificity will lead you to success. How can we be specific in our applications going forward? Please write below 💪

Quick question for everyone, especially first year uni students looking at spring weeks. As many will recognise applications are opening/have opened for spring weeks and I have found myself wondering what the preference is for timing of application. As someone who definitely needs to build out their profile more and gain improved experiences and positions for their CV/Cover letter. Do people think an earlier yet weaker application or a later on but stronger application is more desireable? Keen to hear thoughts.
