Hints & Tips

How our recruiting process works

We start our recruiting process in the autumn and our online application system this year opens in August, 2008.

Citi's Recruiting Teams visit a number of campuses during the recruiting season (please check our Campus Calendar). On campus we give presentations about the company and the numerous career opportunities we can offer you. You will also have a chance to meet our people across the businesses, including senior representatives and those who have recently joined the company. This gives you an excellent opportunity to learn, first hand, about the company, what differentiates us from other firms and what makes us tick. Before you start our online application, please review the checklist below and consider the following motivation questions, which should help you decide whether you would enjoy working with Citi.

Motivation questions:

• Are you prepared to take on early responsibility?
• Are you excited by challenges?
• Are you effective working in teams?
• Can you work on your own initiative?
• Are you highly motivated, enthusiastic and driven?
• Have you read our web site to learn about Citi in more detail?
• Have you thoroughly researched the business division you would like to apply to and the program it offers?
• Do you have an excellent academic record?
• Are you looking for the opportunity to make a difference and to create change?

If you have answered "yes" to all these questions and are sure that a career with Citi is what you're looking for, then submit your application and check your inbox for your receipt confirmation. We will carefully consider your application against our selection criteria. Citi does not use automated screening tools; a member of our recruiting team will personally review applications submitted online.

If you meet our criteria, you will be invited to participate in our assessment process.

Please Note: The specific assessment tools used at each stage will vary by region and are specific to each business area. Once you are invited to participate in the assessment process, you will be encouraged to visit our "Virtual Interview Center" online, which provides specific information on the assessment process by region and for each business area.
