Real soon now we're doing the live stage show based upon our guide to getting a job in quantitative finance.It is however not true that the part of me is being played by Samuel L Jackson, and it is a lie to claim that Paul is being played by Tom Cruise.In fact everything you read about Tom Cruise is a lie.The idea is to get good advice from people who do this stuff in real life. We think that's more useful and interesting than the more commonm"We're a big bank. We employ lots and lots of people, maybe there's a slot for you somewhere in this year's intake horde".Thus it's a mix of talks and being introduced to both working quants who've been in the game a year or two, as well as people you've heard of.And free cake.It's being hosted in a large bank in the City of London.You may apply for the event by sending your CV to Events at PaulDominic.comPart of the process is that your CV will be used to see if the bank should formally interview you, and we of course will see if there are jobs that fit your skills in the market.

Is it early for him to apply for quant/risk job now or your event is a little bit early for him?As econometrics, risk management and other useful courses needed in the workplace have not been taught. Then it may not be good for him to participate in an interview with technical questions. Right?

The event is optimised for those people available or graduating this academic year, so it ought to be useful for him.I wouldn't worry too much about not being prepared for interviews at QOAP, since there won't be any formal interviews.The idea is for people to learn things, rather than say them. There will be an opportunities to ask questions, and obviously if they are good questions one of the 10-20 working quants may want to talk to you about a job.Even if that's not the case the idea is that at the end of the day you are in a better position to get the sort of job you want.The timing of interviews before you finish is a tricky one depending on what he's doing, I'd guess Christmas is the right time to apply.Technically of course going to QOAP is an application, but if he's still a work in progress, and that work looks promising, we'd try to get him seen when we thought his chances were best.As a general rule, you should start the process alightly earlier than you may feel intuitive. For a start, you may not be seen for a while, and some firms have cut off dates which are sad to miss.Also being interviewed well is a skill, not just a talent, and a couple of early goes helps your overall chances even if the marginal probability of success at your first try is lower than at your 5th.
