Re: internships 07
I applied for CAG at Macquarie..got a psychonometirc test tomorrow..argh...a bit worried..don't like the idea of them picking apart my personality >.<
Anyone else been throught the second round? Why does it take three and a half hours to complete this assessment? Will we be asked to work in groups to work on a case study, give presentations etc?
By the way good luck everyone!

Re: internships 07
Yeah i had a look at the sample they put up...still nervous though...
Read up a bit on the financial press, they asked me if i was up to speed and what publications i was familiar with..then they asked me specifically what i had read! Was kind of shocked by that one lolz
They also asked about what subjects you like or dislike and why, and they want you to give them an idea of what you studied in that subject...that one got me too...a bit nervous i guess lolz
Ask them questions as the end, something like 'why did you choose macquarie' etc my interviewer seemed really keen on asking that one

Re: internships 07
just look up their website, plus perhaps some company profiles in various databases. Know what they do and think about what you can do to satisfy their needs. Look for their corporate strategy and their values. Talk about how you meet those values. Look for their recruitment goals (e.g. are they looking for passionate leaders, are they looking for 'the best of the best', are the looking for people who want to work with them for a long time).

Re: internships 07
I just applied for the CA Achiever program for first years...has anyone else gone for that?
And to anyone who has done it in previous years, just wondering how long it takes once applications close for them to get back to you, and also how they allocate participants to firms??

Re: internships 07
they'll definitely ask you about products (what types of fixed income investments they trade sale and cover i.e. debt securities - high yield debts, all types of bonds), what you know about syndicated loans, leverage finance (i.e. raising money through debt markets for m&a's), main determinants of rates, bond yield and valuation and so on
thats all i remember.
