Again a recruitment agent should be able to help you get your CV up to a standard where they are confident it will be acceptable by the banks and financial institutions whom will be recruiting. There are lots of template CV's and CV writing advice available online by searching for 'banking job CV'.

The interview

Interview skills are a subject in their own right and beyond the scope of this article. There's a lot of things to remember you should and shouldn't be doing in an interview but most of these are common sense things about the way you want to present yourself. The best advice ultimately is make sure you do yourself justice, listen to the interviewers and think about the sort of things they want to hear from you. They want to find out about your personality and character as much as anything else so show you are a person they'd like to work with.

Again a Google search for 'interview tips' will give you plenty of helpful advice and a recruitment agent will also help to prep you before setting you up with interviews.

Good luck finding your dream job in banking.
