First, you submit your application and resume on the Goldman Sachs careers site or at a campus event. Make sure your resume really shows off your relevant experience and skills. Some jobs, especially entry-level ones, might have you do online tests like numerical, logic, or situational judgment tests. Then, the first interviews are usually by phone or video call with HR or a manager. They'll ask about your background, why you want to work in finance at Goldman Sachs, and if you'd fit in.
