Lazard 2007 - 2008 Campus Events for Undergraduates
Each year Lazard visits leading universities and business schools throughout Europe. Our hiring is done regionally therefore opportunities and training and development vary by location.
Italy
The Netherlands
Germany/Switzerland
Over the next months we will be hosting a series of events in Germany/Switzerland. They are a good opportunity to find out more about the M & A business, recent transactions and to meet Lazard bankers. The number of attendants is limited. Therefore, participation is possible by application only. For further information please contact sandra.gath@lazard.com
Analysts
Analysts in Amsterdam, Frankfurt, Madrid, Milan, Rome and Stockholm
are generally first degree candidates with an economics background
and excellent academic or previous successful relevant work experience.
Analysts also have a passion for business and a genuine interest
in the investment banking sector. Your primary purpose is to support
transaction teams by performing financial and statistical analysis,
conducting research, preparing client presentations and assisting
in due diligence efforts.
Potential Analysts within the Amsterdam, Frankfurt, Madrid, Milan,
Rome and Stockholm offices need to display the following qualities:
- Excellent spoken and written communication skills
- High academic achievement
- Strong personality
- Energy and enthusiasm
- Individuality
- A disciplined approach
- Intellectual agility
- Innovative thinking
- Analytical thought process
- Excellent communication skills
- Commercial acumen
- Ability to get on within a team
You will be assigned to different specialist or generalist teams.
In your second year, your work will be more project-driven, allowing
you to build upon the broad exposure you will have gained in your
first year. Unlike many of our competitors, Lazard's unique structure
provides Analysts with exposure to senior bankers and client representatives
from day one.
Training and Development
As our clients expect a lot from us, we must ask a lot from you.
We want you to succeed and have therefore designed an extensive
training program which will provide you with a sound understanding
of the technical aspects of your role.
The initial program, attended by new colleagues from across Europe,
includes carefully designed residential courses, master classes
led by practicing bankers, on-the-job coaching by team colleagues
and visits to our other European offices.
As your career progresses-at least once a year and as part of our
performance appraisal process, we will discuss your training and
development needs with you. We may agree on a number of actions
which could include attending technical, personal-management and
business skills programs which we have designed. Again, these programs
will be attended by colleagues from across Europe.
In addition to attending courses, you will be expected to keep
up-to-date with regulatory and market developments while taking
every opportunity to learn from more experienced team members on
each assignment. We owe that commitment to our clients.
Internships
Amsterdam, Frankfurt, Madrid, Milan, Rome and Stockholm occasionally
offer internships to undergraduates. An internship with Lazard is
an excellent way of gaining a better understanding of the nature
and culture of our business. It will allow you to experience the
Analyst role whilst seeing colleagues operate at every level in
our business. An internship can lead to an offer of a position with
Lazard in the following year's Analyst program.
