GIC Industry Partner Awards: Finalist Spotlight     This week, we’re continuing to spotlight the finalists of our 2024 Industry Partner Award, as we get closer to announcing the winners at our June 19-21 Global Internship Conference in London!    🌍 Lafayette Real Estate: Shaping Global Financial and Real Estate Leaders 🌍  Lafayette Real Estate stands out as a finalist in Outstanding Commitment to Student Development for transforming interns into future leaders. Their program offers more than just experience; it provides a comprehensive immersion into real estate markets, empowering interns with unmatched insights and real-world skills. Eytan Rozenblum, the nominator, shares in their nomination: “Lafayette provided me with insightful training with dedicated time from employees at all levels (from analysts to executives). During initial training, this helped me to quickly grasp the requirements for day-to-day operations and understand the company's long-run strategy and positioning within its market. Then, the mentorship provided by Lafayette allowed me to continuously grow and correct course to ensure that I got the most out of the experience. This took the form of regular 1-on-1s with analysts, associates, and leadership team members, including the CEO who regularly took time to ensure my training went well. This exposure has allowed me to develop my business acumen and bolster my strategic understanding of the real estate asset management industry.” See how they're crafting the next top financiers at the Global Internship Conference in London this June.

As part of my continued efforts to foster growth and development, I am proud to be collaborating with the Talent Acquisition Team at May Institute to prepare for our Intern Training Weeks. This summer, we are hosting 40 interns in various roles within the organization. With my experience in training and managing interns, I know that Intern Training Week is more than just onboarding. It's a great opportunity for these interns to start building their professional network and gain valuable career insights that will benefit them throughout their internship and beyond. Here are some key points for all interns to keep in mind: - Network, Network, Network! Attend company events, use social media, and seek mentorship. Connect with professionals in your field, join relevant groups, and participate in meaningful discussions. - Engage in conversations and build connections with peers and colleagues. These relationships can lead to mentorships and collaborations that can last a lifetime. - Be proactive in offering your help and expertise. Don't hesitate to demonstrate your value to colleagues and management.  - After your internship ends, stay connected with your colleagues and mentors. These connections can open doors to future opportunities and collaborations. Good luck to our future interns, we are excited to have you!

I've interviewed over 10 students so far for AAG's 2024 summer internship program. Here are some common questions and concerns asked during our interview: 1. I do not have any experience in finance, will I be considered? - Yes! We have seminars and study sessions to accelerate your learning. 2. What will I be learning during the internship? - Main areas are: 1. Career options in the Financial Industry, 2. Financial Management (Wealth Management, Risk Management, Financial Portfolio Design), 3. Principles of Entrepreneurship 3. I'm not sure if Financial Advisory is a fit for me - Not an issue! This internship is an opportunity for you to find out if this is right for you - with no obligations! Take your time to research, talk to our managers and directors, and reflect on your interests and strengths. If you decide this is not for you, we hope you have learnt more about yourself and had a good time! Still considering your options for summer internships this year? DM me for more info!

One way to break into investment banking is by securing a summer internship during your junior year. 🚨 This is crucial because around 90% of full-time offers go to this group. The problem is, you have less time than you think. 🤯 For example, recruitment for 2027 grads (2026 summer internships) kicks off next semester (Fall 2024). So, you really have to start your networking now. 📲 Aim for at least 4 calls per week until Fall 2024. This will give you an edge when recruiting begins. 📥 If you need guidance, DM us your email and we'll get you on the WSO Academy waitlist. #investmentbanking #wallstreet #financecareers
