Before recruiting begins, you need to be able to explain who you are, why investment banking makes sense for you, and how your experiences fit together. In this session, we'll work through the core pieces of your recruiting package: your resume, your positioning, your "walk me through your resume" response, and your answer to "Why investment banking?" We'll discuss how to translate non-finance experience into a credible banking narrative and avoid the generic answers bankers hear from every candidate. You'll leave with a framework for building a clear, convincing story that you can deliver naturally in coffee chats and interviews. You'll learn how to: - Position your background for investment banking - Structure a strong "walk me through your resume" response - Develop a credible and specific answer to "Why IB?" - Connect your experiences into one coherent narrative - Identify weaknesses in your resume and positioning before recruiting begins
