Interviewed Jan 2008 in New York, NY (took 3 weeks)

I was initially contacted by a staffing agency recruiter who directly sent my resume to the hiring manager of HSBC Securities. I was brought in for an interview with the manager and some of the team, and then I was given a phone interview by an HR Coordinator

Interview Questions

Why do you want to work for this company or in this specific role

View Answers (1)

I see your background thus far has been engaged in consulting projects, why did you undertake so many and why do you now want a permanent role? (in my case I had undertaken three temp or project-based assignments before deciding to focus on procuring a full-time permanent role)

I got the interview through a Staffing Agency and the interview consisted of a Phone Interview, a 1:1 Interview and a Background Check.

The position that I applied is Business Analyst and they will ask you to introduce yourself and how your previous working experience meet this job. And What's the meaning of General Ledger? And what are you going to allocate the time for a new project? What's your desired career path? Why choose HSBC?
