UBS phone interview questions

Hi, I'm at a non target school and I have two phone interviews with UBS S&T next week. What type of questions are generally asked in first round phone interviews? If anyone has experience with this that would be great.

Thank You

 

know what is going on with the markets... read headlines in wsj for the last week or so. those and the usual numbers (s&p, 10yr note, etc) are the only technical questions you should get. had 2 interviews with them so far. everyone is really nice and understanding if you get something wrong good luck :)

Don't know if you're still looking for advice, but I'm also a non-target and have had 3 phone interviews with them. All of them were primarily fit. Definitely know what has gone on recently in the market and keep up on the financial news (first person asked about euro debt crisis, second asked Citi v. BOA and Ford v. GM, and third asked about some market numbers like the long bond etc.). There were a lot of fit questions about my resume and interests from all three. Finally, the last interviewer gave a simple probability scenario with incomplete information (had to ask for it to get the right answer). PM me if you have any more questions.
