Need help from a trader with answering screening questions

I have to answer some screening questions for an interview and I need some help on how to formulate them. My background is not in trading but I'm really hoping to make the transition. Can anyone help even just to review? Please pm me or post here.

Thanks

 

What kind of questions are you referring to? I had a couple of questions that could relate to, as you say, 'screening questions'. I did not have a background in trading, IB, or anything like that. It is just the way you formulate them by which recruiters etc. think that you are valuable. I would not advice to tell/write bullshit.

The ability to come to answers to questions independently and with conviction. Not joking there either.

Look mate, i wasnt being funny earlier. IF you can't figure out these answers then you really shouldnt be trading. If you're fresh out of college, the only question you'll be asked is the 3rd one. Think what trading is and what qualities someone would have to make it a good choice for them.

Quantitative, cool headed etc. etc. those are the easy ones. Trust me, if you shouldnt be a trader, dont be one. You'll waste X years of your life and have no transferable skills.
