The comprehensive guide aims to steer students and graduates in the right direction when it comes to establishing a career in banking and finance. This year’s 80 page guide offers information on internships, graduate training schemes and interviewing, and explores 16 different sectors within investment banking and financial services across Europe, ranging from capital markets, compliance and operations to fund management, corporate banking, insurance, information technology and management consulting. All sections contain valuable facts, figures and information gathered from professionals working in each area, highlighting the types of opportunities available to students and graduates in each sector.
Careers in Banking & Finance 2009/10 also details how the banking and finance industries have changed over the last year, explaining why banking is still an ideal career choice, featuring those sectors that are performing well in the aftermath of the 2008/2009 banking crisis.
In addition, the guide contains an extensive employer profile section that includes application deadlines, details about which of the companies’ divisions offer vacancies and the number of graduate hires in the previous year for their graduate and internship programmes across Europe - this year’s Careers in Banking & Finance covering the UK, Europe, and, for the first time, emerging markets such as Poland, Czech Republic and Russia.
John Benson, founder and CEO of eFinancialCareers.com, said:
“This has been a challenging year for graduate recruitment. However, ambitious and talented students who graduate next year should find financial services firms more receptive to their applications. Likewise, for those students who took up second degrees to improve their financial skills and knowledge, this additional coursework should improve their opportunities with recruiters. For all such students, Careers in Banking and Finance should be essential reading and has been specifically written to help students secure their place on an internship or graduate programme.”
