UBS and Merrill Lynch Phone Interviews
Aloha everyone.
Next Monday, I have two phone interviews: one with UBS and the other with Merrill Lynch, both in PWM. I met my contacts through my career services director on campus, and they both know I'm looking for an internship. I have a couple of questions.
First, what kind of questions should I expect from these interviews? Should I prep for them as if they're informational interviews, or prep for them as if they're job interviews?
Also, should I ask for them to look over my resume and set up in-person meetings at the end of the interview? I'm new to this, and I've heard that interviewers don't like to be ambushed by resume-reading requests. However, I think that because I met them through my career services director, who refers many students to them, they are expecting me to ask for a job.
Any tips would be much appreciated.

Yeah I've heard bad things about PWM at both banks. But because I'm in Hawaii, it's basically the best opportunity around.
Have you interned at either of those banks before?

Wow, that bad huh? Is it really totally worthless?
ML PWM SUCKED. I did it and it was only good for having the name on the resume. Learned almost nothing.
Has PWM fallen in ranks drastically since a year ago or something? I remember that it was still a pretty solid internship to get in freshmen/sophomore a while ago.
I don't think it isn't great. If you're a freshman or soph you should definitely do it (unless its a SA position and you're a soph). It's good to learn about big bank culture a bit. Just the actual job for me is what sucked. Really boring, and not rewarding at all. I had a bad manager though.
