internship with Barclay\'s Capital...
 

Hey,

I'm applying for a summer internship in London with Barclay's Capital. I don't have a lot of experience in fincance/trading but I go to a decent school, have good grades and I think this might be something I want to do.

However, as of right now, I know little to nothing about the industry. I need to answer a couple of questions on the app about the business etc.

From the research you have done on our industry, how does our firm fit in with your career aspirations?
(90 words max)

Describe a recent development in the industry. What implications might this development have for our firm or the division to which you have applied?

Can anyone point me in the right direction? Clearly I'm going to check out the website, but maybe some good books to read/other sites? Personal insight?

Thanks a lot,
Matt
