“How did you actually become a Markets & Wealth Services Analyst at BNY?” we asked Craig, an upReach Banking & Finance Alumnus.

Here is his answer: Taking active roles at university, completing projects outside his coursework, and building a CV that actually shows his strengths.

If you’re a student wondering whether you have “enough” on your CV to be competitive, it’s not about ticking boxes. It’s about being intentional with the time you already have.

Start thinking about your career early on. We support students from lower socio-economic backgrounds throughout their time at university and beyond, with 1-to-1 coaching, employability skills sessions, exclusive access to employer events, and a network of professionals who’ve been exactly where you are now. Whether you’re not sure where to start, don’t have the “right” connections, or just want someone in your corner, we’re here to help you build the CV, the confidence, and the career you deserve.

📌 Save this for your next application.

Giving university students the opportunities to explore different career paths, expand their professional networks, and get to know as many firms as possible while they’re still doing their degree.

This helps university students to stand out when applying for internships and graduate roles. With our 1-to-1 support, we build their confidence and interview / application knowledge. Combining this with real world experience, they stand out in the competitive job market.
