6 Tips To Make Your Application Stand Out

By LSEG

We want to help you to prepare and give you the best chance of success. We have prepared a list of hints and tips to help you tailor your approach accordingly. We recruit on a rolling basis so early application is strongly advised.

Before Applying

  1. Meet us. Attend one of our virtual or in-person events where you will have the chance to meet with us and learn more about our early careers programmes.
  2. Be prepared, what would you like to know. When meeting us at events, make sure you are prepared with questions that will enable you to better understand our business and the opportunities available.
  3. Research. It is important to be fully aware of the business and programme you are applying to and why this is of interest to you. Familiarise yourself with our business and key divisions on the Group website.

Application

  1. Show your enthusiasm. A strong academic record and impressive achievements are a given for the top graduate employers. What often makes an application stand out from the crowd is its quality: how well it is written and how genuine and committed you are to our business.
  2. Ensure your contact details are correct. If we cannot reach you, we cannot invite you to the assessments.
  3. Applying for a Technology role? We recommend you take a look at the job advert and consider how you can tailor your resume to showcase your technical skills and specific technologies of interest.
