Allyssa
APAC BCMA Recruitment Lead
Take time and connect with people in the industry and/or the company you’re interviewing at to understand more about the company, culture and open roles. Read the Wall Street Journal or other financial magazines regularly.
Ishaan
Campus Recruiter
Remember that there is always a requirement for the role that you may have not been exposed to in the past. In that instance, focus on a plan of action to bridge the gap in your current skillset.
Emily
Campus Recruiter
Keep it succinct, and seek feedback from others. This should be a living document, so be sure to keep things up to date and continue to revise and refine.
Loyedson
Recruiting Officer
Wear professional and comfortable attire that you feel your best in and take time to listen to your favorite songs!
Devika
Campus Recruiter
Consistency! Use the same date/location format throughout the entire resume, double check all spacing and alignments and update all verb tenses to reflect roles that are in the present vs past.
Irene
Latin America Campus Recruiter
It is important to be ahead of time; test devices if the interview is virtual, make sure there is no background noise and always be yourself.
Michelle
Campus Recruiter
I recommend having copies of your resume on hand and bringing a notebook and a pen so you can write down notes during the interview (this will also aid in a thoughtful follow-up note to the interviewer).
Eloy
Officer, Campus Talent Acquisition
If you’re going to include a headshot photo, make sure it’s professional and avoid using a selfie. Use a recent photo, choose a professional outfit, and take care of your grooming.
Noémi
Senior IT Recruiter
I personally like if the candidate adds some personal info as well (eg. hobbies) to the resume – it could be a good starting point in the interview to break the ice.
Viviana
Latin America Campus Recruiter
Believe in yourself! If you don’t believe that you are the best candidate for the job, no one will.
Jared
Ireland Senior Campus Recruiter
Be yourself - don’t go into an interview and try to show the assessors and interviewers what you think they want. Show your personality, ask questions, and talk about topics that interest you.
Wen Hua
Campus Recruiter
Remember that an interview is as much an opportunity for you to assess the company and role, as much as it is for the interviewers an assessment of you as a candidate.
