WikiJob

I thought I would make a post about a site I've known about for a while that some of you may find useful. From now on, I will try to write reviews on good quality online resources that are relevant to those that wish to pursue a career in investment banking and consulting.


WikiJob is an online community where users can create, edit and publish articles. It is basically the wikipedia of investment banking, accounting, consulting and law. I think most of you here will be interested in the investment banking section! What I like about it is the simple and clean look of the site and the relevant content that is on there. I mean each sentence is worth reading, in other words no small talk, it gets to the point unlike many other sites.

A quick summary below to help you find things. I will go through the sections that you are likely to need.

Interview questions
- detailed accounts of the application process. From online applications to offers with all aspects of interviews and assessment days covered. You can find Goldman Sachs Interview questions and JP Morgan Interview questions! I am sure most of you wonder what you will be asked on your interview day!

Industry pages - This is my favourite section because there are clear and simple explanations about different things even the most basic things such the different tiers that investment banks have. A very simple concept that many seem to ask! This is very useful for those that would like a starting point to learn about investment banks.

Application Technique - A selection of useful articles on application technique, including competency based interviews and competency based questions. Gold mine!

To top it off they have a forum, a community of job seekers and graduate trainees at firms who give advice and answer to each others questions on all aspects of job search/interview process.

If there are other sites that you are aware of please comment and post them so that others may benefit from it.
