At Deutsche Bank these activities are grouped into divisions and each division has opportunities for graduates. Research these areas thoroughly before making your decision. To do this firstly you need to talk to people working in investment banks. You can do this by attending presentations and other events.

Know What to Expect We can at least try to help you as much as possible with the Deutsche Bank application! Below is a pdf example of our online aplication form. We have put it here to give you the option of familiarising yourself with the form before you start the formal application process. This pdf is a guide only - it may vary from the online version you select in My Application. In order to apply to Deutsche Bank you must go via My Application which will take you to our online application database. Here you will be taken through steps to select a region, program and division. Once you have submitted your application you will receive a link via email to your own personal virtual centre where you can track the process of your application and sign up for an interview. Example application form Don’t Miss the Boat The online application form is the only gateway to our interview process ?so you really must fill it out if you wish to be considered for a position. You should also carefully note the application dates and timelines which are listed throughout our website. Unfortunately, given the volume of applications we receive, we just cannot extend our deadlines. In order to make sure you get the process rolling, you may want to start your application now. When you enter the application, you will be asked whether you are a new candidate? (Setting up your application for the first time) or a returning candidate?(updating your application or tracking your progress). Unlike some other online applications, our system allows you to start the application and then come back and change it until you feel ready to submit it. Once you have submitted your information, you will also be able to track the progress of your application online. What You will Find Online Once you go to the application form itself, you will be asked to indicate the country and the type of position for which you are applying. We offer two options -- the Analyst application (typically undergraduate or postgraduate degree backgrounds) and the Associate application (typically MBA graduates with some work experience). The Analyst application can take anywhere from 5-40 minutes to complete depending upon which region you are applying to. The application allows you to discuss your experiences outside of immediate work experience. We strongly encourage candidates for the Analyst program to explore the online application process before submitting their applications. As you go through this aspect of the website, you will find helpful tools such as FAQs, deadlines, and preparation tips that may help you fill out the application. The application process is shorter for Associate candidates the form typically takes about five minutes to complete. You simply input your contact information and attach your CV/ resume. What Happens Next Within 24 hours after submitting your online application, you will receive an e-mail from Deutsche Bank confirming our receipt of the application. Next, Deutsche Bank recruiters will study your application along with those from all other candidates. They will be looking at your background, your experiences, your relevant scores/grades and other aspects covered in the application in order to determine whether to take the next step and invite you for an interview. Unfortunately, given the number of applications we receive, as well as the high caliber of candidates who seek positions with us, we are not able to proceed with every candidate. However, you can be assured that a real person will review your application, and, once we have decided about whether or not to proceed to an in-person interview, we will notify you of our decision. If Deutsche Bank is conducting interviews on your campus make sure to contact your career office to learn about any additional steps you might need to take to secure an interview slot. Some Tips About the Process As mentioned above, we have established our application and interview process in order to give all candidates an equal and fair shot at the limited number of positions we have available. However, there are a number of things that you can do to help insure that you put your application in the best light possible. Here are a few suggestions: · Know your goals. Be clear about the area(s) of the company that most interests you -- Global Corporate Finance, Global Markets, etc. and why you think you are a great candidate for that position. We understand that you might be interested in more than one area of the bank, but you抣l probably want to target your application to one or two positions. · Know Deutsche Bank. Nothing turns a recruiter off quicker than an obvious lack of knowledge about our organization. While we are a global bank with offices in more than 73 countries, not all of our divisions operate in each office. You don’t want to be surprised to learn that we don’t have an appropriate Associate program in our New Zealand and Australian offices when you begin to fill out the application. · Make your best case. Be sure that your application and CV/resume highlight the things in your background that best explain and demonstrate your qualifications for the position. This could/should include examples from past work, your academic career, extracurricular activities, hobbies, or any other area that is relevant. Since our first cut is based upon a review of your online application, we won’t know anything that you don’t tell us. · Explain your choice of locations, if necessary. If you are applying for a position in a region outside of your current location, highlight why you want to work in that region. If you speak Chinese or have experience living or working abroad and you want to work in our Shanghai office, document these experiences in your CV/resume · Follow instructions carefully. We have set up our applications in order to collect information that helps us evaluate you as a candidate. If you don’t follow the instructions, you will hurt your own chances to succeed. · Use Word (.doc) attachments. If you wish to upload a document, we ask that you use Microsoft Word format. We can also view supporting materials in the Acrobat (.pdf) format. What to Do If You Have a Problem Applying There are helplines you can contact to sort out problems.

This is an indicator that you抮e hiding something. That said, never underestimate the pull of demonstrating relevant work experience ?in some regions this takes precedence over strong grades. This is not a time to be modest. If you have banking experience, this is also extremely helpful, and you should emphasize that in the application and during the interview. In any case, we will expect you to have done your homework about Deutsche Bank and the investment banking industry. Knowing (or not knowing) what we are doing, how we are performing, where we operate, and new ventures we抳e initiated says a lot about your desire to get a job with us.

<div class="t_msgfont" id="postmessage_644">What should a candidate expect in a typical interview? Be prepared to tell us why you抮e right for Deutsche Bank and why Deutsche Bank is right for you. If you抮e serious about an investment banking career, we understand that you抣l be talking to a lot of firms. But you should understand how Deutsche Bank differs from the pack, and why the particular division to which you抮e applying is a better fit for you than any other similar job in the industry. If you are an MBA, elementary concepts like discounted cash flow and the weighted average cost of capital should be as familiar as the back of your hand. Also, follow the markets. We may not ask you about the rate on 10 Year U.S. Treasuries but it doesn’t hurt to know. If you are an undergraduate, you won’t be expected to perform quantitative Olympics at a Derivatives Trader level, but you should be familiar with the basic concepts of valuation. For a role in sales and trading, demonstrate your ability to persuade. For a position in corporate finance or research, you will need to understand financial markets and have a grasp of the basic tools of financial analysis. If you are applying to a role in a non-finance oriented division tell us why you want to work in the financial services industry vs. other industries. Even though you may not be working directly with numbers and the markets, you still need to understand them. What is the biggest mistake a candidate can make in an interview? Lack of drive and lack of preparation. The first interview is not the time to ask about our vacation policies or get an education about the difference between buy-side vs. sell-side. Instead, show us you have got a fire in your belly to work here. Sell yourself without reservation. And if you get backed into a corner with a difficult question, don’t cop an attitude. Instead hang in there and try to find a satisfactory response. The financial services industry is not for the faint of heart. Rapid change is the norm and you have to show us that you抳e got the chops and the intelligence to keep up. Also, make sure you understand the question that was asked. If you don’t understand a question, ask for clarification. We will rather repeat a question than get a completely irrelevant answer. We also encourage candidates to be prepared to back up claims about their abilities with real life examples. What are the most effective ways for a candidate to follow up after an interview? Before you leave, ask your interviewer what the next step is, and when you can expect a response. It is a good idea to get a contact number and ask if you can call. Don’t make a pest of yourself, but if you haven’t heard within the stated time frame, you can feel free to give a follow-up call or better yet, send an email. A thank you note is always welcome. It is yet another indicator that you really want this job and took the time to acknowledge the people you met. Many of the people you抣l meet during your interview are full-time employees in our various divisions. They are not full-time recruiters. They take time out from their busy schedules to meet and speak with you. Sending your interviewer a thank you note demonstrates your understanding of his or her job. You don’t have to send a handwritten note; an email is great. What are the qualities necessary for success in your firm and how do you screen for these qualities in your candidates? We value leadership potential, teamwork, integrity and professionalism. Generally, we look for strong quantitative and analytical skills as well as good communications and selling abilities. We also expect that candidates will be prepared to discuss how to value a company, work with a few numbers without breaking into a cold sweat, and to talk about a negotiation they have experienced. We also want you to understand that careers in investment banking require a large time commitment. If you are looking for a great quality of life balance, at least for the first few years, you may want to reconsider your career goals. The ability to think globally is also important to us. We have over 69,000 employees in 73 countries. We operate in every major financial market in the world. You should understand how the Japanese market will affect the German market and vice versa. What is the best way to break into the interview cycle if you’re not on campus? With our online application system, you can apply from wherever you are, regardless of our campus event schedule. The system allows you to track the process of your application, and if we invite you for an interview, we抣l arrange a convenient location: on campus, at a hotel, or at our offices.</div>
