You should carefully consider your personal career goals and try to work out if they match what Education can offer you.

Too many people, highly intelligent and gifted people at that, decide on a profession without really pondering the realities of the day-to-day work.  And some live to regret it.  We ask for a lot from our graduates in terms of time, energy and commitment.  So you mustn't join us unless you're going to enjoy it!  A career in investment banking is truly a thrilling, diverse and dynamic experience, and professional fulfillment among Education people is high because we are making good things happen for our clients, and we love doing what we do.  It's really very exhilarating to be personally involved in the movements and developments of global markets and multinational enterprises and we are seeking people with long-term commitment and a hunger for a challenging career path.

There are other sections on the website which include more detailed information on the various roles, responsibilities and training paths available.  Before you apply to Education, you must spend time deciding which area of our business is going to be right for you.  If you are interested in learning about the type of people with whom you might work, we encourage you to read about some of our people in the Profiles section.  To give you a further insight into what it is like to work with us and the breadth of career opportunities available to you, you should also take a look at the sections About 360 Career and Business Areas.  Our Jargon Buster is a useful tool for clarifying some of the terminology frequently used in Investment Banking.

Make sure you also check out the rest of the Advice Centre, which provides you with guidance on making an application, preparing for interviews and assessment centres and answers frequently asked questions.  Remember you can only apply to one business area so think carefully about where you are best suited.

Of course, attending campus presentations and talking with Education representatives are great introductions to our firm and our people.  Information sessions and other recruiting events provide a clear overview of our industry and businesses as well as the opportunities available to you.  Our calendar of events will tell you when we are on campus.

Understandably, Education cannot visit every university across Europe.  If we are unable to visit your campus, you should learn as much as you can about our firm through the website as well as by talking to your university career service.
