      Banking Summer Interview

      Negative experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Barclays in Oct 2015

      Interview

      That was my first interview of the recruiting season and I found it quite hard as I hadn't practiced much. However, if you are comfortable with competency based questions, you shouldn't have any problems, as all questions were competency and motivation based. For example, "how do you make sure that you are understood, when giving a presentation?", or "describe how you exhibited one or more of our principles". I had to record myself on camera and there were about 12 questions with a 2 min time limit for the answer.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      How do you solve a problem? Please describe how well you align with one or more of our principles? How do you make sure that you are understood by your audience, when explaining something?
