We want to do everything we can to help you succeed in your application.

We appreciate that applying for a job can be time consuming and it’s often difficult to get advice on how to go about it. This section has been specifically designed to guide you through our application process and help you do your best in your first interaction with J.P. Morgan.

Johannesburg Winter Internship application form
Application criteria for the Winter Internship Programme
On the application form, indicate the business area to which you feel best suited. You will then need to email your application form to the email address stated on the document.

We recommend that you submit your graduate application form in the period July to August 31, 2011. Once we’ve received your application it will be passed to the relevant business area representative for consideration. If your application matches our requirements, we’ll contact you quickly to arrange first round interviews.

Each business area has a tailored selection process but the first stage generally consists of a set of interviews and/or a numerical/combined-reasoning test. First round interviews will take place at the relevant University Campuses or at the J.P. Morgan offices in Johannesburg and Cape Town.

After the first stage, you will soon find out whether or not you’ve been successful. If you have applied for a position and you make it through to the following rounds, you’re likely to be asked to attend an assessment centre.

Here are some hints and tips to help you complete your application form:
Get your contact details right. These shouldn’t be too tricky, but people do get them wrong and if we can’t contact you then the entire application is a waste of time.

Ensure you know which business you want to apply to and why. For internship and graduate positions you can only apply to one business area and applying to more than one could jeopardize your initial application.

Be clear and concise.

Take your time. This is your first chance to sell yourself so make sure you provide us with relevant information that is going to differentiate you from other applicants. Think laterally — use examples of achievements both inside and outside of the classroom to illustrate qualities such as team-working, interpersonal skills, drive and creativity.

Watch spelling. Again this sounds obvious, but it really does make a poor impression if your application is riddled with typos.

Don’t copy and paste. Individualise your application form.

Demonstrate your motivation for applying to J.P. Morgan. Make sure you know exactly why you would like to work with us.
