Please use this thread to discuss INTERN applications to Schroders. We would appreciate if you could follow the guidelines outlined here: http://nicube.com/board/topic/1/59099/.

is this internship only for penultimate year students or can final year students apply too?

The questions asked were:

What attracts you to the Investment Management Industry?
Why do you want to work at Schroders?
What unique skills will you bring to Schroders?
What area of Schroders business most interests you and why?
What do you think would make a good investment today?
Please describe you interests and how you pursue them?

Those are the 7 assessment questions above, I was preparing myself for some maths and got those, a nice surprise!

nope

any news from them?

Got rejected too :(

i've had no reply at all, and when i log in the status is completely blank. hmmmm....

no reply. summer internship.

I've heard that they're not hiring this year, so wouldn't be holding by breath.

I've heard exactly the same - direct from Schroders' mouth at a presentation.

I was at Schroders' presentation last Sep, they discouraged people from applying to grad roles but encouraged us to apply for internship... it seems they aren't hiring after all.:(

Schroders status has changed to 'interviewing', yet I've heard nothing from them (other than their staff telling us recruitment is frozen at various workshops they've held).

Odd.

Can someone tell me when exactly the internship programme is taking place? They do not specify the dates...i'm not Britain, therefore difficult to understand what they mean with ''summer''.
I thank you very much!
