VACANCIES among graduate employers are on the rise, particularly in the investment banking sector, new research has shown.
According to High Fliers Research, graduate recruitment levels have increased across the board by 11.8 per cent. Although recruitment dropped in investment banks by half last year, targets have been set to increase intake by one-third on last year.
The way into banking is often paved by an internship, which in itself is regarded as a 10-week interview.
‘Internships are very important in the industry in general,’ says Malcolm Horton, global head of recruiting and programmes at Nomura investment bank. ‘Joining banking is a huge commitment both personally and professionally. We need to know that applicants are committed.’
According to Mike Hill, chief executive of Graduate Prospects, there is a negative public perception of the industry, with many graduates believing that there are no jobs available in the banking sector. Investment banks are however not expected to have any trouble filling their places – the ratio of applicants to jobs this year at Nomura were 20 to one.
According to the High Fliers Research report the average starting salary for an investment banker is around £38,000, making the banking sector one of the most highly rewarded sectors in the job market.
Banks say the key to a successful application is careful preparation and practice, as well as an excellent CV – but that’s not all.
‘One of the most important things we look for is the ability to sell yourself,’ says Horton. ‘We see a lot of people with great CVs but, when it comes to the interview, they cannot bring this to life.
