Citi capital markets origination

If you have an important thing to do at that date, you can call them and inform. No problem. If they are planning to do one AC more, then they will invite you for the other.

thanks a lot! well, Citi is one of my preferences hence it would be a pity to miss the chance...one recruiter once told me that they would organise several ACs in both December and January, so theoretically it should work to re-schedule...i feel they always recruit more interns than full-time grads...so let's see how it goes...
will write to them...

cheers!

Hi Hazel,

In my experience its risky. I was once having that trouble and chose to stick with Citi AC date and reject other interview date. Reason for this is that sometimes if the AC they hold have good candidates, they may not guarantee you another AC so becareful and check whether it is possible to re-arrange AC that is "guaranteed". My wasn't case so I stuck with Citi AC plan which turned out to be a good decision as it was the last AC and well offer as well....

If you want to discuss this, I highly suggest you to contact Citi. I have left you a message with the details.

Thanks a lot...the whole thing can be really tricky...I'll see what they reply and then make a decision...

cheers!

oh!! i applied as well but still haven't heard from them... :((((( but i only completed the numerical test on thursday.. hazelground how long did u have to wait after the test for the invitation??

i had to wait forever...it's been more than a month since i completed the numerical test.
and since i never heard from them again, i was pretty sure i screwed it...

but hey, there is always a flicker of hope for everyone....so dont give it up yet...
but in my case i chose not to book the date provided, so not sure i will get another date :)
lets see...

Citi numerical test i thought was harder than usual!!! hopefully i will have a chance to go to AC too.. good luck to u!!! =)))

Same here....i thought the citi test was a bit different from the other numerical tests I had....but surprisingly it seems to have gone well...did you apply for CMO?

yes internship you?? i applied for CMO and OPS... im happy with either tbh ... just need to get into the industry first!!! you?

cmo summer internship - any idea about the 2010 intake?

Ye me too... Not sure about the intake but I met he in campus event she said it's on rolling hopefully I can get ac.z

if you reach the AC, make sure you can justify why you applied for both CMO and Ops...since they are quite different business areas...

good luck

oh btw, CMO and Opps they have different ACs. and CMO people wont know that you applied for Opps and vice-versa. So, no conflicts!

@IBD_Haunter

I don't now if you just said this for CMO and Ops but in general people knows that you applied for two departments.

the HR people know that you applied to both. The business people dont. Also, CMO HR and Opps HRs are different. The applications are handled separately.

I can confirm that if you submit two application, they are dealed with seperately but HRs will know you have submitted two. Throughout the recruitment process, no interviewer will ask you why you also applied to another position. When I accepted the offer, my other application was automatically withdrawn.

@NERVA10

Did you attend both AC of the departments which u have applied ? were u successful at both applications after the first interviews ?

Depends on the bank I think. I went through the whole process of S&T and by the time I have received the offer, the other application was still in "hold" and when I obviously accepted the S&T offer, the other application was automatically withdrawn.

Some are different like Barcap and Barclays are seperate as is HSBC and HSBC GBM. But then again thats because they are commercial and ib seperate. Well thats as much as I can tell you:)

guys i have CMO grad First rnd on 11Jan. any suggestions as to what to expect would be welcome.

@Nerva10

I have had a friend who makes through AC in both departments and they wanted to choose one department to continue.

anyone received this email today regarding intern?:

Firstly, apologies to those that have already received this message, but I wanted to make sure you all have received updated communication with regards to your application.

Many thanks for completing your online numerical test with us. We are still interested in your application. We are looking to run assessment days in January and February. At present we are unable to confirm if you have been successful through to one of those interview days, but we will be in contact as soon as possible in order to confirm this with you.

We thank you for your patience during this time. If you no longer want to be considered for the position, please withdraw your application online so we do not try to contact you further.

I do wish you all happy holidays.

hope i get to AC..

I have not received that email; I took my test during the end of November :-( I applied to S&T internship; hopefully they will invite me atleast for a 1st round. Just checked my application staus it says 'Online test completed'.

anyone got reply?

@Aj

I would not worry too much, if they have not sent you a rejection yet, your application is surely "under consideration"...
Why dont you mail them and ask? They do respond most of the time :)

@Aj: I've also applied for S&T summer internship, took the numerical at the end of Nov but no news as of yet. Extremely worrying:)

I checked.. still nothing... i also applied to OPs grad job... even no numerical...

@ il206 - i applied for Ops full time and got this email on 7th dec.
Thank you for your application to Citi. We have reviewed your skills and experience and are very interested in your application.

We are currently reviewing all applicants against our business requirements and there may be a short delay while your application goes through this process. We have updated the status of your application to 'On Hold' for this period. As soon as there is an update in the status of your application we will contact you again by email to confirm if you have been selected for the next stage of the recruitment process.

Thank you for your patience during this period, and for your continued interest in Citi.

Yours sincerely,
Citi Graduate Recruitment Team

Same here!!! But no numerical!!

@ Solomon

@ Mustafa

the CMO has already recruited 12 people at least fyi. No idea whats the full amount but you could ask the HRs

@Those who have not heard back

I will share my experience with Citigroup. I applied for the Graduate Trading position and did not hear back for a while. Out of the blue, I got an email from HR stating that they could open my CV but due to some technical reason were unable to open my CL. I followed protocol and both were in .doc as stated on the website. Subsequently, I was asked to email a lady in HR my CL. After emailing my CL, I was invited to their online numerical tests, which was easy given some fo the other tests I had done for prop trading. Finally, two days after completing my test, I got an email stating that the program was full and that they were really sorry. Personally, I am not bitter about it but am shocked as to why it took them so long to figure out that they couldn't open my CL but then again what was I thinking expecting HR to be MENSA members!!

I advice you guys to email them and not to be afraid to do so as it appears that such issues are common. My mistake was that given the state Citigroup was in, I assumed they would not be aggressively hiring and did not pester them about my application. Don't make the same mistake.

I wanted to email them but I cudnt find their email there is no link to contact recruitment on the website ...

@il206

I have PM you the email address.

finally received a new year email from citi... invitation to AC for CMO internship!!!

Any hints anyone??? please =)

haha good e-mail to receive at this time of the year. Did your AC e-mail say exercises include written exercise, group exercise, business case discussion/presentation? If then, its the same as the other front office ACs.

@NERVA

its quite strange that the email only says final stage AC... and there was no phone interview before.. so i guess the AC would include competencies as well.. i have never been to front office AC before... any specific hints..? thanks a lot!

hmm was told by others that CMO has only 1 round apparently. Strange, but not for me to comment on:) I have no idea then what they would have involved in. Best bet in this case is call HRs and ask, they are very helpful.

Guys,

I have an interview with Citi CMO coming up, for a full-time role. Can anyone share their experiences? What kind of questions can I expect?

same here please advise!!

and anyone who is waiting for OPs full time, i emailed HR lady and she said they are confirming head count, will get reply on 11th.. good luck everyone!

@il206

thanks for the update about OPs full time.
Had applied for Operations & tech (O&T) generalist grad programme. Did numericals & was put on hold after that.
What about you?

@akoo

Are you also on hold after the numericals for O&T grad full time?

@browncargos

I applied to Capital Mkt Ops and not the generalist O&T. They emailed me saying I am put on hold as they are doing the headcount. I haven't done any numericals yet.

i haven't done numericals for ops grad, but have AC for cmo intern

hey guys any one from here is going to the CMO grad first round on 11?

i spoke with HR just now...they still havnt recieved any feedback from business regarding headcount for OPS FULL TIME

@mustafa
how was it?!?! anything to sharE? i have intern one coming up in two weeks

@ akoo
oh really.. they told me they would have the result by today oh well.. i think the reason why i didn't get a numerical for it cuz u only have to do it once for multiple applications.. which is always good news i hate those tests..!

it was different from other interviews .... u cud guide it in the way u want to....i had a couple of rather unorthodox questions like 'explain cricket' or what is the Euribor-3mth. so was npt all thet technical but also not all competency ...a sort random yet linked to ur career kinda converation.
the test is ur standard shl

Hi guys

I just recieved an update from Citi for Full Time Ops - they havnt yet finalised the dates for interview, which would be probably late Jan or early Feb. All those who received "on hold" email can have some hope...

Mustafa, u heard back from Citi as yet?

craze-peep no not yet. i guess by thursday. u?

nope, haven't heard anything either. what makes you say thursday though??
