    Maximise your chances of an offer: strategy, applications and how to do well at each stage.

    • Which firms, divisions and programmes to target, and when to apply
    • CV and cover letter review
    • How each stage works: tests, HireVue, first rounds, assessment centres, superdays
    • Networking, coffee chats and spring week or internship conversion
    • Choosing between banking, consulting and commodities
    Book mentoring

  • Mock interview

    A realistic interview with a mentor, shaped around the firm you're preparing for, with detailed feedback.

    • Behavioural and motivation: 'why banking', 'why this firm', STAR stories
    • Technicals: accounting, valuation, DCF, M&A and LBO, at your level
    • Or a mix, like a real first round or superday
    • HireVue-style, live or assessment-centre format
    • Written feedback and what to work on next
