What's your biggest bias?
When interviewing candidates, what's your biggest bias? Can be pro or con any element of a profile...
Personally, and this is petty I know, I always ask STEM students (incl. economics and finance) why they want to go into trading and how exactly they think their academic experience will add value. As a history grad, I was always asked in interview why I wanted to be a trader, what skills I could bring, etc. and it rankled me (no doubt the product of some latent insecurity / superiority complex that, clearly, is still present). I enjoy turning the question on target subjects because, I tell myself, it forces them to truly confront why they're pursuing this profession - it shouldn't just be because it's seemingly the next logical progression. Needless to say, I've definitely received some slightly puzzled looks...
Hopefully this thread will help the latest crop of applicants better prepare in case they do come across an interviewer as conceited as myself!
