Interview
As it was just an interview for an internship the interview was rather general. Started with a short phone interview with the HR. After which if you're successful, the HR will arrange an interview for you with one of the managers of the department. The interview with the manager was both general and a bit technical as they had to make sure you know exactly what they did on a daily basis, eg trading.
Describe yourself in 2 min. You should introudce yourself in short and talk more about your own experience. You should never out of focus and loss focus in the meeitng
the interview process was very quick and simple they did not go into detail regarding what the role is about they just asked why i wanted to join hsbc and one other question, it ended in 10minutes
The interview and the interviewers were really friendly and warm, especially for a student with not much experience. The process may be daunting but the interview was good. the questions were mainly about fit questions so just be aware of yourself.
