Book open Reading time: 2 mins

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. Become more than an application. Tell us more about your experiences and what first led you to consider the opportunities we are offering. Make yourself more than an application, show us the real you and make yourself memorable for the right reasons.
  2. 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.
  3. Tailor your thinking to us. As part of our application process, we require a motivation statement. The best way to make yours unique is to put yourself at the heart of your answers. We want to learn about you and what motivates and excites you about a career at LSEG.
