Austen Morris Associates interview questions

Met with the HR manager. Sat down in their conference room and briefly looked over resume and asked questions about working habits and interests in the financial industry. HR manager helped place you in the company based on what you wanted to do for your internship.

About a 20min phone interview, followed by further stages if necessary - for example, speaking with a senior partner. However, there is a couple of things to consider before applying to this role. First of all, you need to be 24 or over due to "Chinese visa regulations". A quick search on the Internet however says to obtain the Z visa you can be 18, so I'm not sure where they got that from (it used to be the old rule though). Secondly, no matter whatever role you're seeking, there will be business development (i.e. cold calling, networking etc) to drive up business. Therefore, if you're not comfortable with that, don't apply. This role is heavily commission-based, and the company encourages this. Therefore, if you're not overly successful, you could be financially screwed... ...Which brings us to the third point. At this interview, the interviewer recommended to have a safety net (or to be financially comfortable). What they recommended (£4k+) is beyond the reach of nearly most people. So, unless you can meet the above criteria - it will probably prove very difficult for you.
