JC Kwok – BSc, London School of Economics

Today has helped me to understand what I really want out of my life and how to get it!
H. Batson - BSc, Reading

To be honest, I learnt more in one day today than I could’ve learnt in a month researching my career.

For me the best point of the day was [the concept of] ‘Dharma’ or, ‘finding your purpose in life’ and in this context your ideal role in the City. The most surprising thing was realising that that the traditional route I was following would not lead to achieving my goals. I now understand that I need to know the ‘game’, the ‘players’ and the language to speak to which people, this has changed my perspective on how to achieve my career goals…
C. Patterson - MSc London Metropolitan

First of all I would really like to thank this opportunity to thank you and everyone involved in organizing this motivating and inspiring event. After today I have gained a very new outlook towards how I am going to achieve my goals. I have set targets now and have formulated a realistic plan on how am I going to achieve both my short term and long term goal. The other thing I would like to commend is the information of how the jobs in the city are different. Before today, I was unsure of what I specifically wanted to do, though I knew I want something in the corporate or financial world. After today I have been guided to see the different areas of career in the city and will start my research on what I will do. I personally think the psychometric test would be very useful and I would be looking forward to have the results.
L. Thayala - BSc, SOAS

This presentation was an extremely valuable experience in terms of understanding the career opportunities in the City through the advice of a person who has actually worked there!

Excellent presentation! I benefited from this experience in regards to knowing and understanding the 5 keys to success in the City. The most interesting part is getting to know what you want and how to achieve it. I would recommend it to anyone interested in personal development.
Esteban Guzman – MBA

The Benedix workshop was really helpful to discover where I fit in to the City by helping me to understand myself… I also learned how to avoid debt once working in the City, a real bonus! I would definitely recommend this workshop to anyone looking for a greater understanding of the City and how to secure a role there…

Wei Ling Shen - BSc

The best point of the day for me was learning about all the different roles. There are a lot of titles that I know but do not understand exactly what happens behind them. It helped me understand what I need to do and how to be able to compete with all the other candidates. I know that all other candidates looking for a City career would appreciate a talk like this…
S Jansdottir – London Southbank

The entire content was excellent. It helped me to learn about different roles and gave me guidelines on how to find a job in investment banking…

I liked the approach towards career development on such a way that it may enable us to become not just successful but financially independent through the positive lessons I have learned.

I believe this workshop is essential for those who want to seek employment in banking and finance, it gives you a genuine understanding of how the City works and helps you decide what career your personality is suited to. This in-turn drastically improves your chances of success!
L. Grigoryan - MBA

The best parts were learning about myself and the City from an expert professional – something you cannot read about or learn in books!

The whole presentation was excellent and the most motivating thing was learning that it is not impossible to be successful at a very young age! I will definitely recommend this course to others. Another good point was the interview questions, which helped me to think about answers that I can use to impress in a real interview!

My best point of the day was the in-depth analysis of each City role, which helped me to decide about my aspired role; it will help me to make sure that I apply for the right role. I would definitely recommend this workshop to my friends.

I loved the useful information on corporate finance, I have learned something completely new and interesting.

Excellent! Recommend it to everyone for a clear picture of the City
