What tips or advice would you give to others applying to BNP Paribas
Come to the program ready to learn and with an open mind. Make the most of the training material as it is very well made and easy to understand, it would be very hard to find something of similar quality without paying. Try to network as much as you can as it is a great opportunity to learn about the bank
