Cover Letter, yes or no?
Im busy applying to JP Morgan Financial Services Apprenticeship, and it gives the option of adding a cover letter. Is it better to have one or not? Whats it purpose? If I should have one, what should it be about as it only mentions the ability to add one (not compulsory) Sorry for this being a bit barebones way of posting but wanted to put this out quickly

@Suleman Niazi Ok doing that now, do I open with "To whom it may concern", as I have no idea who is going to read it / who the hiring manager is. Or should I take a gamble and try find them via linkedin

Yeah those, also look at Trackr (aka Bristol tracker a while ago). Easy central place to keep up with stuff, not necessarily online stuff but lots of different bits

Cheers, applied to the IB one and law (because why not)
Hola people
Bit late but regardless - Year 12 doing econ, maths and psychology. Going for banking (front office) / accounting (FSO). Apart from that, tied between degree apprenticeship and uni -- entirely depends on whats the better offer at the end of the day.

@Yusuf Mohamoud With banking its definitely being in markets and client side work, being able to put stuff together for deals and that sort of thing. With accounting its the same kind of case - clients and markets/financial services, but from the other side of banking (or in some cases alongside)
