This is exactly what I needed when the Spring week WhatsApp is going crazy even before university starts 😅
Maddy Hi! Big thanks for making video on this. Keep up the great work. Also I am unable to find your linkedin account.
Hey thank you for bringing that to my attention!i have now fixed the link in the description box of the video to my LinkedIn. Feel free to connect! :)
Hi! I love your videos!! To how many Spring Weeks did you applied? I just found 10!
Hi glad you found them useful! I applied to 10 in total but there are a lot more opportunities available then just 10. However, I would recommend to focus on quality not quantity. So it may be useful to apply to around 6-10 range but put full effort into them to maximise your chances. As each application takes up quite a lot of time and you may struggle to juggle university work and extra curriculars along side, but ultimately it’s up to you :)
How many different spring weeks did you apply for? and on average how much time did you commit to each application?
Photo Dunn I applied to 10 in total, and they are quite time consuming because you have to take your time at each stage of the process to prepare properly to do the best you can. Quality is better then quantity in this case. There are about 3/4 steps in the application process and to prepare thoroughly I did about 3 hours for each step so 9-12 hours in total for each application.
Maddy Parada thanks for the reply. All 4 of your videos on spring weeks were very helpful!
If I've done a couple virtual networking/ insight events with some banks could I put that on my CV?
MAN yes definitely! Just make sure to include what you learnt from them or what case studies u did etc
Hey, i heard, that it is the best to apply asap. I would like to apply for the spring week of goldman sachs, but the application process will be open in a week or so and my bachelor programm starts in september, so should i still apply and write incoming in my cv or how would you handle this situation. Thanks!
Definitely still apply ASAP! If you already have your university/ bachelor place secured then just write incoming and the years you will be doing your degree in on your CV. Always best to apply as soon as possible.
Im in the same position, what will you write when they ask for your GPA etc, as the uni courses are yet to start??
@@thomaspearce7282 Well they wont ask for your gpa if you write incoming undergraduate at xxx in your cv.
@@slnh3130 they ask for your GPA on the same application form u send in with your CV tho
@@thomaspearce7282 Just write your GPA from your high school diploma tho.
