How to Apply to Goldman Sachs (2026): Step-by-Step

Here's how to apply for a job at Goldman Sachs in 2026 — where to find roles, what their application asks for, and how to get through it faster.

What application system Goldman Sachs uses

Goldman Sachs's careers site runs on a custom careers portal. Knowing this helps: expect a company-specific flow.

Step by step

1. Find the role on Goldman Sachs's official careers site (search "Goldman Sachs careers"). Apply on the source rather than a reposting where you can.
2. Create an account or profile if prompted — most systems require one before you can submit.
3. Upload your resume, then check the parsed fields: work history, dates, and education are where parsers most often get it wrong.
4. Answer the screening questions (work authorization, salary expectations, notice period). Decide these once so you're not re-thinking them each time — see desired salary and work authorization.
5. Review every field, then submit. Keep a record in a tracker.

Before you hit submit

Two quick wins: check your resume against the posting with the resume keywords for your role, and attach a tailored letter — see the cover letter examples by role.
