Keep trying, and consider related fields such as accounting, valuation services, etc. Better to go to one of those than something completely unrelated.

If few banks recruit at your school, you’ll have to rely on networking with alumni and friends/acquaintances in the industry.

Jessica: That’s unlikely and HR would not be the one to do it. If they really wanted to find out, they would have Analysts speak to their friends at other banks and try to find out, but even then it would be hard to find anything concrete because there are so many different offices, groups, etc. and people usually don’t know who’s interviewing in other groups.

If the interviewer is insistent, I would not mention specific names unless you have at least SPOKEN to someone at those banks. It would not be a lie to say, “I’m talking to bank x” if you have spoken to people or friends there but have not interviewed there. That’s probably the best way to handle this situation.

what if you don’t have any interviews, but the interviewer insists on finding out the specific banks you’re interviewing with?

Is it possible that HR can speak to the HR departments at other banks and find out if you’re actually interviewing with them?
