If you are serious about banking and finance careers then this will be gold dust for you!
Just Stand Out…
You’ve heard it said before. With more students graduating than ever before, the need to stand out has never been greater…
What makes you different from all the other 650,000 students that have just graduated?
Well, the way you approach securing your career in banking and finance is the difference between success and failure…
…Let me explain –
how you approach the company is a good reflection of how you conduct yourself in business. How you persuade an employer is how you will probably persuade the banks clients. This is the filtering device to determine those who are strong candidates.
Why do you think the application process at the leading banks is so comprehensive?
To filter for those who are most serious.
Why there is a Scarcity of students that are ready for banking and finance
One would think that because there are so many students and graduates, banks and financial institutions must be crawling with outstanding applicants. This simply isn’t true. While there are so many talented students with excellent academic achievements, there exists only a small handful of students and graduates who have what the banking and finance world is looking for…
…The funny thing is, with a little bit of guidance you can become such a candidate. See, you have so much potential, but some just don’t know how to unlock it and market themselves effectively. Marketing yourself effectively is 90% of securing a career in banking and finance, the other 10% (What most students and graduates focus on) can be achieved and worked around. MYTH: A student who went to the best university and achieved the highest academic achievements will be the one selected for the top roles in banking and finance. Wrong! Just because someone is a skilled academic doesn’t mean their skills automatically translate into the banking and finance world.
Here’s a real shocker:
Some of the best traders I worked with on the trading floor didn’t have degrees at all…
…Don’t get me wrong – a first class degree from a top university will help if you get the other ingredients right, but the key is getting the other ingredients right!
What most people don’t realize is that the employers are looking for something else altogether. Therefore, pitching your academic achievements and brilliance on an online application won’t do the trick (This is what all the unsuccessful applicants do).
Secrets of a Banking and Finance Specialist
My name is Simon Dixon.
I started my banking and finance career 10 years ago, during the dot com bust and recession when I worked at Stock Brokers TD Waterhouse before moving to Investment Bank KBC.
Over the past decade, I’ve had a range of roles including trading, market making and corporate finance. I now own a private equity company and others businesses in banking and finance. When I finished my masters in economics I was in for a real shock when I was getting rejected from all major financial institutions…
…It was this experience however, that made me discover what not to do to secure a career in banking and finance, and it is remarkable how year on year students and graduates make exactly the same mistakes that I did!
In 2006, I entered the consultancy arena after a successful career in Investment Banking, consulting traders at leading financial institutions and undertaking economic advisory work for the US Congress.
Quite by accident I was invited to London School of Economics to present on securing a career in banking and finance to a group of students. Having presented at one university I got invited to more and more.
Careers advisors across the UK requested me to present to more and more students until eventually I was spending a significant amount of time presenting at Universities. It seemed that my message was really helping people secure careers in banking and finance and I had stumbled upon a new rewarding career.
When you present to tens of thousands of students and graduates seeking careers in banking and finance at every major university in the UK you start to notice a pattern in peoples behaviour…
…The same problems and questions seem to come up time and time again…
…Spending most of my time with huge influencers and achievers in banking and finance (Founders of Investment Banks, CEO’s, traders, fund managers, some of the greatest business minds in banking and finance) you notice the huge gap between those who have just graduated and those who are achieving to a high level in banking and finance.

And here is what gets me going…
You have so much potential, if only someone could show you how to tap into it.
At the end of 2008, I was featured on BBC and Channel 4 documentaries as well as newspapers like City AM, the Guardian and the FT demystifying the banking and finance sector because I possessed hands-on experience in a wide spectrum of banking and finance-related disciplines and was willing to share what I knew (Unlike other banking and finance professionals).
As a result, I had come to know exactly what works and what doesn’t work in securing a career in banking and finance — and have personally developed my own unique model of banking and finance career achievement that has been proven to secure students and graduates careers at all financial institutions across the world.
Having started as a consultant within 3 months I had more consultancy projects and speaking engagements than I could handle. I was working with financial intuitions like Bloomberg, Man Group, Schroder’s on top of all my university engagements and working with government licensed organisation like the Financial Services Skills Council (FSSC) and the Securities and Investment Institute (SII). Months after I started freelancing, I had already raised my rate 4 times and even at that rate, I still had to turn away clients because I had more work than I could manage. Before long, I realized I had became one of the most sought-after banking and finance career consultants and trading specialists in the industry (Charging £11,997 for my consultancy and limiting it to 10 clients a year).

I don’t tell you this to brag,
but to point to the fact that banking and finance career consultancy is in such great demand, especially among students and graduates.
As you read on, you’ll begin to understand why there’s really no mystery to securing a career in banking and finance…
…It was then that I started toying with the idea of teaching my unique model of securing careers in banking and finance to others. I was convinced that the proprietary knowledge I’ve acquired over the years is far more valuable to students and graduates seeking careers in banking and finance than I could possibly imagine.
So here’s what I did: I did a roadshow of all major universities in the UK and US giving a one hour presentation on securing a career in banking and finance during a recession, and within 5 days, 93% of those who attended said…
…“Yes!” they’d be interested in paying a reasonable tuition fee to learn how to secure their ideal career in banking and finance and master the influencing skills to climb the corporate ladder for the rest of their career, if I would give them easy, step-by-step techniques.
That did it!
The Birth of The Banking & Finance Career Mastery Program
You can say that I started The Banking & Finance Career Mastery Program as a solution for students and graduates seeking careers in banking and finance. There simply are too many students and graduates needing professional guidance — and only a small handful of expert banking and finance professional willing to help them.
Even if one could find and afford good banking and finance career consultants (Benedix consultants charge a median hourly rate of £150/hour, and a high end of £250/hour), chances are, they’d be too busy to take on you under their wing. Therefore, I wanted to provide a solution for the thousands of students and graduates who are determined to work in banking and finance, but can’t get through the door and climb the ladder.
And that’s how The Banking & Finance Career Mastery Program came into existence.
I condensed all the techniques that have taken me a lifetime to acquire into …
… the Banking and Finance Careers Mastery Program — a one-of-a-kind program designed to work around your busy schedule. The Banking and Finance Careers Mastery Course consists of a huge bank vault of trade secrets — most of which you won’t find in any book or course that’s presently being taught. I know because I have read them all and picked out everything of value and added it in this program for you!

The First Banking and Finance Careers Mastery Program Was Completely Sold Out!
After the university roadshow I finally spilled my guts and revealed all in my first-ever Banking and Finance Careers Mastery Program that I taught once only. The course was limited to only 50 students, and needless to say, the course was completely sold out in record speed! The original attendees share the thoughts in the videos on this page.
Here are just a few of the juiciest secrets I revealed in the course (I’ll tell you later how *you* can get your hands on the online edition at a small fraction of the course tuition):
- An incredible ten step formula that offers a step by step guide for securing any career in banking and finance, which I invented. This has been one of the most celebrated highlights of the program. It not only coaches you to persuade employers to give you an opportunity, but also teaches you how to turn rejections into contacts and objections into job offers.
- The only banking and finance application manager with over 1800 financial institutions that most students and graduates won’t know about and up to date information on application deadlines meaning you will never miss a banking and finance opportunity.
- A step by step career plan for different career paths in banking and finance including investment banking, sales and trading, fund management, research and analysis, commercial banking, insurance, accounting/tax, banking and finance consultancy, law in banking and finance and more so you know exactly what to do for your chosen career path.
- How to write banking and finance tailored CV’s (such as investment banking CV’s that sizzle, attention-grabbing trading CV’s, irresistible covering letters for fund managers etc.) in a way that dramatically boosts your chances of getting them read. Sending hundreds of CV’s to all banks and financial institutions wont work until you learn this!
- The blueprint for writing a banking and finance covering letter and CV—with a list of characteristics which you must use to describe your experiences to get noticed for each different role in banking and finance (Students have been doing cartwheels and back flips when they first discovered this blueprint months ago! This will slash 80% off your CV writing time)
- How to activate your interviewers buying mode by using secret codes in your language that cause the interviewer to offer you the role without any resistance
- How to use Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) strategically to maximize your persuasiveness. I’ll teach you the sneaky way to use NLP to climb the corporate ladder and be a top achiever in your field in banking and finance. This alone is worth more than the entire tuition.
- How to write the all-important subject line of your e-mail for a banking and finance application so they will read it now — instead of reading it later, or even (gulp!) deleting your e-mail application altogether without even reading it.
- How to take a temping role or internship in banking and finance, apply a few psychological tactics, and make the opportunity a full time role. If you do this during your work experience, you’ll have more offers than you can imagine.
- What you should do if your applications are not generating as much offers as you expected. How to get on the phone to triple your success rate and the absolute best way to get through to decision makers at the three different types of banking and finance employers. You must learn how to convert objections into job offers.
- A certified crash course in banking and finance so you are completely up-to-date with banking and finance lingo allowing you to speak the city’s language
- A psychometric test that enables you to figure out which area in banking and finance is right for you so you are not barking up the wrong tree and only go for the career that will give you the most pleasure and success.
- The 7 Habits of highly effective banking and finance career seekers. Learn how to become 100 times more effective than your current results.
- Learn the little-known, seemingly innocent psychological techniques and secret influence techniques that convert more interviews into offers by as much as 30%, 40% — even 50% or more. If you don’t know how to do these easy things — you are definitely leaving a lot of offers on the table.
- Know the correct qualification choices for your chosen career path. Students don’t realise that sitting the wrong qualifications can work against you in your banking and finance applications. Don’t spend thousands on the wrong education that gets you further away from your chosen career path
- How to build your network of banking and finance contacts even though you don’t know anybody yet so you have contacts from day one.
- How to use clever, but innocent-looking devices in your interviews that instantly get your interviewers thinking about you over other candidates — and become willing buyers of you as a person!
- Advanced influence techniques for banking and finance interviews. Traditionally taught techniques for passing interviews only work on certain interviewers. Countless interview books teach general rules about passing interviews and students who follow them are making these deadly mistakes everyday — and don’t even know that they’re killing job offers in the process.
- Questions that will come up in banking and finance interviews and how to answer them to blow the socks of the interviewer.
- How to master the application process for the three different types of banking and finance employers so you can find the right company for your personality
- A long term plan to climb the corporate ladder once you have secured your ideal role in banking and finance so you excel to your highest earning potential!
So you see, I condensed everything I’ve learned about securing a banking and finance career into this online program of pure, unadulterated substance. Quite frankly, there isn’t a course out there that’s as comprehensive as this — at any price!
Learn how to secure your career in banking and finance at the Pace You choose — and at a fraction of the cost!

How Much is All This Worth to You?
Back when I first entered the banking and finance arena, if someone had offered me this Banking and Finance Careers Mastery Course, I would have been willing to pay £5,000, £7,000 — even £10,000 to learn the skills that would get me my ideal career in an investment bank…
…I’d have gladly paid that much instead of going through the trial and error, and rejection I went through in securing my career and climbing the ladder…

How is that for transparency……Use the program now to achieve a top career, and once you get the results you might spend some more money with me as you get the results you desire… …so you can definitely enjoy all the benefits and secure a top paid career.
It is a very important lesson that you pay your tuition though, as the best candidates that will secure a career in banking and finance are always willing to do that…
