I was wondering if you guys can add some color to this video interview through hirevue? I haven't done a video interview and I would like to know how you all prepared for it.
If you guys done the video interview through BlackRock-any advice would help!
BlackRock Virtual Cover Letter with HireVue
BlackRock's virtual cover letter is an interview in which you will be asked 2 questions with 5 minutes preparation for each. The questions are typically behavioral/fit based questions.
Sample Virtual Cover Letter Questions
Questions vary depending on the department, but examples include:
- Why did you choose your major and how do you believe it will help you in your professional career?
- Why would you be good for the role?
- Why do you think you're a good fit for BlackRock and why did you decide to apply to your division of preference?
- What has been your favorite course at school and why?
- How would you value the risk of 100 Apple shares?
- What differentiates BlackRock?

If this is for the Virtual Cover Letter through Hirevue, then you'll be fine without preparation. If anything, I'd open your Photo Booth app and film yourself talking for a few minutes to get used to staring at your computer camera (to simulate eye contact, not a joke, most Hirevue interview introductions will ask you to do this) and not feel too weird about it even though you are sitting in a room by yourself, dressed in a suit, and talking to yourself. I always found that to be the worst part of a Hirevue.
Do you know what questions they do? I mean how much time you have, how many questions, and if you remember what questions they do exactly.
Thank you for your help, good luck for your interview!
for the BlackRock "virtual cover letters" they give you 2 questions, 5 minutes to prepare, and only one chance to record
Anyone know what the BlackRock recruiting timeline is? I submitted this at the end of July and still no response.
did you not receive virtual cover letter request after submission?
I finished the virtual cover letter in July and still haven't heard anything, I'm guessing it's a rejection
bump, also curious of the BlackRock timeline
in the UK, i think the deadline is 12/11/2017
2 questions. 5 minutes preparation for each. Behavioral/fit.
Does anyone got the exact questions???
Anyone heard back from BlackRock yet? Haven't heard back since the Virtual Cover Letter.
Hi, when did you submit your cover letter? Thanks.
Same, submitted hirevue months ago but nothing yet. Met HR at OCR event, said won't look at the applications until the deadline. Also, heard that they take very few interns in some divisons.
I did the virtual cover letter like 2 weeks ago and received a follow-up a week later for a video interview. I did the interview last Friday but have not heard back from them. This is for FMA btw.
Hi I got an additional video interview. It says it's different from the first round question type. What kind of question they asked? Tech or behavior? Thanks!
I applied for a different group, but each of my steps in the process were about a week apart. I applied at the end of September, got a first round interview a week later, got an invite to superday a week after that, and had my superday interview the next week. But the other people at my superday all had totally different timelines, so it really just depends!
Got rejected by FMA. Had an interview with Client Solutions today. Has anyone heard back wrt next steps
Was the interview with Client Solutions with HR? Or was it more technical with individuals from the department?
Were your interviews with FMA and client solutions for FT or summer?
Completed the HireVue and the questions were the same for both positions I applied for.
You get 5 minutes to prepare for each and then a 1.5 minutes to answer each question.
Did the virtual cover letter back in July, and now i have a "live virtual 30 min interview" (via Hirevue AND phone?? not sure why it's not just through skype...) for Relationship Management & Sales. Interview is for princeton but I applied for new york
It's like a Skype interview. At least thats what mine was
Would you mind telling what kind of questions were asked or what area it focused on? Was it competency or technical?
Did the Hirevue back in late August, but still haven't heard back from them yet.
I just received a 30-minute interview invite from BlackRock. The position is Trading & Liquidity Strategies in New York. Can anyone who has done the interview share what kind of questions that I should be prepared for? Thanks a lot in advance.
Hey, I received an invite for the sme position. It's in london though. Have you already done your interview??
Yes. I did it a few days ago and got invited to New York for final round next week.
Hey just curious, are you guys interviewing for full time new grad or summer?
Do anyone have any insight on how to answer the question: "Why BlackRock?" in a credible manner. I am just trying to pinpoint the innovation and technology aspect but it feels so forced as the time won't allow for any details.
Has anyone had the first round? I have been selected for trading SA. Have 2x30 min interview in one week
Anyone hear back from Investments SA?
Just got an email today stating that they're still reviewing my application, so I guess it's not a rejection yet. did the virtual cover letter in early october if I recall
Got that email too. Not sure if that's a good sign for us, or if we are basically just being strung along until they start sending out rejections
I had an virtual interview last week for Credit Product Strategy in NY.
Anyone know when we will hear back after first round 30minutes virtual interview?
Not sure about the timeline in your area, but I just got invited for a physical interview for the Aladdin Client Services Internship, a whole 3 MONTHS after I submitted my Hirvue interview XD
So I think you might have to wait a while.
If you're curious, its a panel interview and based on the email I'm thinking its going to be heavily technical based rather than fit.
Good luck!

Hey, guys! So I just received an email from BlackRock to schedule a first round video interview for the FMA group in NYC. I was wondering if anyone has gone through this process before and could give me an insight into the questions they will be asking.
Thank you.
