Headstart Careers - Goldman Sachs

Went to Goldman Sachs for a Headstart career course, it was very interesting and showed how there are lots of roles at Goldman Sachs that are not all finance based. They showed us the best way to get on to the scholarship programmes, which are listed on their website. We then got given advice on how best to fill in job application forms and the the Dos and Don'ts of a job interview. One of the most appealing of working for Goldman Sachs would definitely be the travel opportunities, which they very much encourage you to do. Goldman Sachs are not interested in purely finance degrees, they are after a much broader range of degrees because they will give you the necessary training. For example, one of their most recent researchers did a biology based degree, which I was amazed at because I was under the illusion that to work in this industry you had to have a finance degree.
