[QUOTE="hungry_for_TC, post: 116824, member: 18282"] My tip is to be yourself in your application. Don't say you're passionate about Private Equity if you have no idea what work there is in P.E, don't say you would die to represent a Venture Capitalist firm because you think that's going to put you at an advantage, etc. They (the Firm) want to know who you are, and if you're both good fits for one another. Additionally - HR has seen millions of candidates and so they are easily able to tell if you're just pretending/putting on a show. Of course, everyone will be putting their best face forward on the applications, but just try to show your best self with 'curated' authenticity. If you aren't sure about PE but are interested, that's good enough! Just write well and clearly about the source of that interest: did you intern at a start-up for a bit? Do you like fast-paced work, like how you enjoyed working at that busy café? That's more authentic than playing it up with no substance. That's all for now folks!!! [/QUOTE]
