What do I need to prepare to apply?
The first stage of the application process only takes about 3 minutes – all you need is an updated CV and to answer a few quick questions.
What does a good CV look like?
Concise – Your CV should only be 1-2 pages.
Clearly formatted – Use bullet points and avoid dense paragraphs of text.
Consistent – Avoid using lots of colours or differing fonts or text sizes, they can be distracting.
Impactful – Highlight what you achieved rather than describing what you did.
PDF – We recommend saving your CV as a PDF to ensure your formatting stays consistent and is easily visible on our system.
Do I need to have lots of previous internships to be considered for a Graduate Analyst/Intern role?
No! We consider applicants with diverse experience – whether that is balancing your studies with a part time job, internships or with involvement in student societies. We like to see applicants who can balance different responsibilities and demonstrate achievements in whatever they have undertaken, whether that is training and supervising more junior team members in your Saturday job or taking a leading role in your student society.

US Roles – Applicants need to have the right to work in the United States to accept a role with us, but we do accept valid OPT/CPT and will endeavor to sponsor visas once this expires (at the discretion of the US Government)
