Look, these places still have financial services internship and graduate positions going for 2012!

You should really have completed your application for an internship or graduate position at an investment bank a long time ago. Most banks open their applications in August. If you haven’t applied, you’re eight months late. But who are we to castigate? Maybe you did apply. Maybe you didn’t get in. Either way, there are still a few jobs going for this year.

Briefly, this is what we have been unable to unearth on your behalf. We haven’t included long internships of 6-9 months on the assumption that you won’t be eligible for these, unless you’re at university in Continental Europe.

4. Trafigura wants technology interns

5. RBS has had to extend the deadline for its retail banking graduate programme

A lot of people want to work in investment banking. Far fewer want to work in retail banking.  HSBC said 9,000 students applied to work in its retail bank this year, but that 17,000 applied to work in its investment bank.

RBS appears to be suffering from the same sort of problem. It’s extended the application deadline for its retail banking graduate programme until April 30th. If you wanted to work in investment banking, but will settle for retail banking, click here.
