1 Year Industrial Placement Program (Equities) - UBS

Hi all,

I am a sophomore studying in APAC region (specifically Singapore) and have been recently shortlisted for the 1 year Industrial Placement Program (Equities) in UBS. Will be having a round robin interview style with 4 groups of interviewers. Would like to ask for advice on how to prepare for the interview: What questions to prepare for, typical technical questions to look out for etc.

Thanks!

Sales & Trading Mock Interview

“My mock session with Joyce was genuinely useful and very targeted. Rather than generic advice, she caught specific delivery habits I need to fix before my Superday. First, she pointed out how often I lean on filler words like "like" and "emm", and gave me a clear fix: pause instead of filling the silence. Second, she told me to slow down my pace overall, which should make my answers sound more confident and easier to follow. Third, she flagged that my opening warm-up came across as a bit stiff, and coached me to be warmer and more personable in the first few minutes so I build rapport before the technical part starts. All three points are things I can practice immediately, which is exactly what I needed at this stage of prep. The session felt focused and honest about what needs work, and I came out with a clear practice list. I would happily book with Joyce again for another round closer to the Superday.”
