Hey!
I have just received an invitation to do a Lazard Video Interview for a role as UK intern. Has anyone done this specific interview before? What type of questions should I expect?
Thanks a lot!
Lazard Summer Analyst Video Interview
User @Bogs-Bugs" shared their experience:
5 questions x 2 mins each. Questions were: incident when you learnt your weakness, why IB, why Lazard, how can you contribute and anything interesting about you, etc. Very basic and easy.
User @gman999" shared the questions that were confirmed to be the same for all applicants:
- Why investment banking (you need to answer why M&A)
- Why Lazard and how does Lazard differentiate itself from competitors and how do you fit Lazard (all in one question).
- Greatest weakness
- When did you show leadership/teamwork?
- Why should we choose you over other candidates?
Sample Answer for Greatest Weakness:
One of my greatest weaknesses is the difficultly that I have delegating tasks when working in a leadership position. I frequently have a very clear vision of how I would like things to be completed which can lead to overextension of my schedule. For example – while on the executive board of the Economics Society I hosted an event meant to reach out to more women and get them interested in the major and the club. I had a more junior member of the club assigned to help me; however, I ended up delegating very little to her which resulted in the event monopolizing my time which led to me offering less effort to some other tasks on my plate. While the event was successful – I was committed to developing my delegation skills. When hosting this same event during this past semester I was able to successfully delegate more of my work to the co-planner by focusing on the fact that there is not just one right way of doing things and the event went off without a hitch.
It is important to note that you can stop the interview whenever you want.
