It is that time of the year. Wall Street Recruiting.
So far so good we’ve received over 25+ thank you emails this month for the content we have added, in particular our posts on 1) Standing Out as a Non-Target, 2) Resume Template, 3) Cover Letter honesty and 4) Investment Banking Interview Q&A were of most value according to our thank you emails. Notably, a common theme in the emails was “thank you for the honest truths” as we were quite blunt in responding to both positives and negatives within a person’s background/resume.
