Recommendations & Advice
Would you recommend Jefferies International to a friend?
Yes
What advice would you give to others applying to Jefferies International
I think it's really important to get across your interest for the business unit you are applying to. For example, in technology, knowledge of the big technologies and how they are used in banking would be very useful for the interview. Jefferies also hosts a lot of events for prospective applicants and I'd definitely recommend attending as it gives you an idea if the work that Jefferies is doing works for you. It also gives a lot of networking opportunities with senior staff which really helps show your interest in the firm.
