My Placement Guide

A step-by-step guide bringing together everything I learned while applying to placements - organised into one clear, practical document.

Built from applying to 100+ roles and securing a finance internship, this guide covers:

• How I structured and tailored my CV
• My full application process, from role search to submission
• Interview preparation and common question frameworks
• How to stay organised and consistent throughout the cycle
• Key lessons and mistakes I’d avoid if applying again

Designed to give students a realistic, up-to-date understanding of the placement process - even if you’re applying later in the cycle.
