The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Barclays (London, England) in Feb 2011
Interview
phone interview from non reporting individual first
second intereview with hiring manager and head of dealing
primarily focused on university years and reasons joined industry ... fine for someone with 1-2 yrs experience but I am 13yrs and had much more interesting relevant things to talk about ... felt like they were interviewing from the book of interview for dummies.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
why I chose to get into banking 13 yrs after the event
Painfully slow, bad communication, unreliable and unexplained demands for experience in niche areas, ads for roles continue to run even after they are filled. Jobs re-advertised and HR not proactive.
