This session is for rising college sophomores. Your answer to “Tell me about yourself” sets the tone for the entire interview. In investment banking recruiting, a strong answer is more than a summary of your resume—it is a compelling story that explains who you are, what you've done, and why investment banking is the logical next step in your career.
In this workshop, we will break down the structure of an effective banking interview introduction and discuss how to connect your academic, professional, and personal experiences into a clear narrative. Students will learn how to tailor their story to investment banking, avoid common mistakes, and deliver their answer with confidence.
The goal is to help participants develop a polished and authentic response that can be used in networking conversations, first-round interviews, and superdays.
By the end of the workshop, participants will be able to:
Understand the key components of a strong “Tell me about yourself” answer.
Craft a concise and compelling personal narrative.
Connect their experiences to a clear interest in investment banking.
Avoid common storytelling and interviewing mistakes.
Deliver their introduction with greater confidence and clarity.
No prior interview experience is required.
