I was contacted by a recruiter named Alex regarding a Graduate Investment Banking role and completed a pre-screening interview. I was told my profile was strong and that everything was “perfect,” except for a lack of CPD hours.
Alex strongly implied that unless I enrolled in a specific CPD course and shared my student ID, my application could not proceed. Based on this, I enrolled in one of the recommended courses, which was extremely expensive especially as an international student.
After enrolling and following up multiple times (three emails), Alex completely stopped responding. No feedback, no update, no explanation.
This experience was highly disappointing and felt misleading. Encouraging candidates particularly students who are already financially stretched to spend large sums of money and then cutting off communication is unprofessional and unethical.
