helloFinance 2024 Priority Consideration FAQ
Q; How does priority consideration work?
A: Priority consideration is the process by which firms consider candidates with enhanced dedicated commitment (in this case, confirmed helloFinance attendance) as priority applicants for opportunities such as internships, jobs, and events. This does not guarantee an internship, interview, or offer from participating firms.
Q: What is the deadline to submit the 5 firms form?
A: The deadline is 11:55 pm ET on Monday, September 30, 2024, at 11:55 pm ET.
Q: Will other firms know which firms I select in my top 5?
A: Nope. Each firm will only receive your resume and the interest statement you wrote for that specific firm. Each firm will also not know the position you put them in your top 5 ranking, just that they were in your top 5. Other firms will also not be able to see the other interest statements you submit.
Q: Does it hurt my chances to apply to an EQC/helloFinance firm I did not put in my top 5?
A: Nope. Having the helloFinance program on your resume will provide priority consideration eligibility for that helloFinance firm, even if you didn't list them in your top 5.
Q: What is the deadline to submit my resume for my top 5 firm choices?
A: This deadline is on Monday, September 30, 2024, at 11:55 pm ET. If you have an extenuating circumstance that makes it challenging for you to submit your resume before the deadline, email us at info@hellohive.com for assistance.
Q: What happens if I revised my resume between when I submitted it on the Hive platform and now?
A: No worries; you can resubmit here when you enter your 5 firm statements.
Q: What should I write in my interest statements?
A: These are like mini cover letters or "why company" statements. This should represent why this specific firm interests you, why you're a fit, and how it suits your long-term career goals.
In this statement, you can describe a specific department, function, or role you're pursuing at the selected firm, but it is not required. If applicable, you are also welcome to mention previous engagements with this firm or recruiters.
💡 Tip: Emphasize what makes this specific firm uniquely interesting to you from your "what, where, and why," such as:
- a piece of info about the firm you learned during the program
- something about the culture or values
- a unique feature of the specific role you're interested in
- an individual you felt connected to during helloFinance

Q: Do I still need to apply to positions (internships, jobs, events) at the 20+ participating helloFinance firms?
A: YES! Priority consideration is part of your thorough application to a participating firm, and your Top 5 interest statement provides enhanced visibility to your top 5 firms. However, it does not stand in for an application to internships and roles!
📣 You'll still need to apply to specific opportunities to be considered by that firm!
