Goldman Sachs Opens Spring Internship Application

Goldman Sachs, one of the world’s leading financial institutions with offices all over the world, is now receiving applications for the Spring Internship in any of 7 divisions within the firm. The divisions open are Finance, Global Investment Research, Investment Banking, Investment Management, Operations, Securities and Technology.

The internship will be held in London and will run for 2 weeks in April 2014 (Easter Break). The programme typically includes on-the-desk training, seminars, presentations, group assignments and a range of social networking events.

What Goldman Sachs Is Looking For

The firm is looking for individuals who can balance competition and teamwork, intensity and integrity, intellectual curiosity and leadership potential with a passion for excellence. Academic discipline is less important than the personal qualities an individual brings with them, however a strong interest in and appreciation of finance is important. The firm evaluates candidates on six core measures – achievement, leadership, commercial focus, analytical thinking, teamwork and the ability to make an impact. The Spring Programme is ideally suited to students in at least their second year of study.

Applications close on Sunday November 3rd, 2013
