Has anyone heard of CORUS ??

Hello. Im 15 and looking for work experience.

I know a firm where I may be able to get some (in London, UK) called Corus. WITHOUT researching it, has anyone actually heard of it, or would it be a waste of time?

I want to be an investment banker, go into finance or economics. Academically I am very able - although I am still young, I look set to achieve a set of 12 A*s including GCSE Economics. However obviously I do want some work experience, and was wondering where to apply. Do any of you know any investment banks.. or any financey firm that would take a 15 year olds application seriously??

Would you recommend Corus (even though its a steel trading firm) for banking work experience. Would it be wise doing it anyway (an extra work experience there would be better than just one that I already have) http://www.corusgroup.com/en/


Thanks very much. Sorry if I seemed 'brag - gy' in this question.

Corus are one of the worlds biggest steel companies and manufacture all manner of steel products at different mills worldwide.

They are generally quite demanding on the qualifications of their staff and love the graduate types who regularly apply for all manner of positions at Corus.

They are a huge business and as such have openings in everything from the 'sweeper-upperer' to, on odd occasions, the Managing Directors.

Corus may take your application seriously - send it in. Start at the bottom (as with anything) and work your way to the top...top positions at Corus are generally well paid.

Best of Luck - not the way i would particularly go into investment banking but hey...there are odder ways!

Yes. They used to be British Steel. Yes, you are bragging. And you seriously think you'll have any actual input to Corus while you're on work experience?

Yea, right.
12 A*s and you're are asking us !!
Dream on ...... do you want fries with that ?

Yes it is owned by Alan Sugar, and he hates teenagers.

as already stated, Corus was British Steel, a large nationalised industry, it's now a relatively small company and the subsidiary of an large Indian company.

I doubt anybody will let you near the real banking at 15, but you appear to be a young man with gumption - write to Corus and any investment banks/ banks via their human resources department you fancy.

There are quite strict laws about work experience, an adult has to go in first and see that you are not at Health & Safety risk etc etc, so don't be too despondent if you receive some polite negative answers.

Good luck.

choruses are in songs

Yes Corus are well known. Barclays may give you the experience you need, they are far more ethical and socially aware than they used to be.
Good luck.

Corus steel in Australia has been brought over by TATA STEEL, INDIA...
Tata steel is a good stock over here in India..
