This is your chance to make your apprenticeship application stand out and launch your career at BNP Paribas. Whatever your background, don’t hold back. Give it your best shot and let our recruiters take it from there.
Being among the first to apply gives you a real advantage. It shows motivation, enthusiasm, and initiative — and yes, recruiters do notice.
Keep it clear and easy to read. Use a clean layout, short sentences, and (if helpful) a CV template. Highlight your most relevant experience at the top and keep it to a maximum of two pages.
Tailor your application to the job description. Clearly show how your skills and experience match the role— don’t leave recruiters guessing.
Include every transferable skill that fits the role. We want to see your strengths and personal qualities.
Every role adds value and helps us understand your skills and mindset.
Write in your own voice. AI tools can help with structure or spelling, but avoid generic, copy-paste applications. Authenticity goes a long way.
Mention insight days, school talks, virtual experiences (like Forage or AmplifyME), or finance podcasts and newsletters you follow. This shows genuine interest in our industry, not just the role.
Check out our events page to see if any Insight Sessions are coming up. They’re a great way to get advice and CV-writing tips. Once your CV is ready, proofread it carefully, and don’t hesitate to ask a parent or teacher for feedback.
Remember: every detail counts. Take the time to tailor your application and, most importantly, be yourself.
