Group Interview
Please describe the interview / hiring process.
Reached out to an alumni who was the a Director. Got my interview the next day. Only had one day to plan for the interview. Was more of a learning experience than anything. I went from interviewing for a buss boy job to interviewing for Sales and Trade for Credit Suisse. However, there are some key things that will help you shine. KNOW THE MARKETS. You don`t have to know everything. But know a few topics you can talk about. Control the interview. Don`t let them keep asking you questions. Start off with your story. In addition, be precise with your answer. Dont keep talking. The two traders were extremely up tight, not happy to be doing interviews on the spot since it took away from their time. In addition, know the reason why they hold these internships. For example, if its diversity, say its to have a plethroa of viewpoints from across the global spectrum to formulate a answer that is not bias.
