Campus recruiting is the process by which firms come to Columbia to hire bright young undergraduates to fill up the lower ranks of their organizations. At Columbia the process is managed by CCE.

This article is intended to outline the process and summarize the most useful advice.

Networking and info sessions

Resume

  • Don't include a "goal"; it doesn't convey any info, it takes up valuable space, and it probably sounds crap.
  • Get your resume reviewed by an actual real life investment banker, or at the very least, someone who's worked at one.

Cover letter

Interview

  • Some people advise you to send a thank you letter, but in practice it doesn't make any difference.
