Vice President at Mizuho Corporate Bank

Accepted Offer – Reviewed Feb 6, 2013

Interview Details – I had only one interview. It was not difficult, and they did not ask any tricky questions. They basically wanted to hear about my experience and whether I thought I could handle the responsibilities of the job. They asked specific questions about my background and experience, but nothing crazy.

Interview Question – The only unexpected thing was that they asked for a sample of my work.   Answer Question

Negotiation Details – The HR person, who is no longer at Mizuho, gave me to understand that the small guaranteed bonus would be in addition to whatever else I could add to it throu the good work I was expected to do. This turned out to have no basis in fact. But, as I say, that recruiter is no longer with Mizuho, and I don't believe such experience will recur.
