varying assignments. Generally, in addition to other pro-
jects, Interns will conduct research, and spend time fielding
telephone calls on the various desks and learning what our
business is all about. Question-and-answer sessions, discus-
sions with key product managers and business luncheons
scheduled throughout the summer give interns a deeper
understanding of the securities business in general and our
business in particular.
OPPORTUNITIES IN SALES AND TRADING FOR
UNDERGRADUATES
The Firm hires undergraduates with high academic
standing into our Sales and Trading Two-Year Analyst
Program. After completion of the 2-year program, the
undergraduate is eligible for the full-time Sales and
Trading Program.
SALES AND TRADING TWO-YEAR ANALYST PROGRAM
After a brief rotational period on various Sales and Trading
desks, you are assigned to join a desk as a junior represen-
tative to help the group in the conduct of its business.
WHAT'S INVOLVED IN THE RECRUITING PROCESS
?
The first step is an on-campus interview. After that, you may
be called to come to New York or a branch office to interview
with various Sales and Trading professionals. The final round
of interviews involves senior members of the Firm, from both
the fixed-income and the equity sides of the business.
WHAT IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN WORKING ABROAD
?
Our European and Asian offices handle their own staffing
requirements but you should make your initial contact
through New York. We will forward the resumes of
appropriate candidates.
WHAT DO WE LOOK FOR IN OUR CANDIDATES
?
There is no one kind of "Salomon person." We have hired
engineers, lawyers, architects, doctors, physicists, athletes,
undergraduates and Ph.D.'s. Whatever their background,
Salomon employees are smart, highly motivated team
players who want to be challenged and who want to suc-
ceed. Primary consideration will be given to men and
women who have distinguished themselves academically
and who demonstrate leadership ability, outstanding entre-
preneurial capabilities and excellent communication skills.
