Overview of Experience
Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
Different activities to gain an insight into the company and the desks such as work shadowing, and different workshops to gain valuable skills such as a stock pitch workshop or how to read the financial times. We also had the opportunity to network with people from the business.
What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?
It was very helpful, especially when thinking about what I would be more interested in doing in my career as we got to do a bit of work shadowing.

What tips or advice would you give to others applying to Jefferies International
The culture is very different from other places and they pride themselves in that so take that into account. But I feel like as long as you are genuine and show your true personality you will do okay.
