BIGER BOY, what's up with the trading thingy? Did you get the test links? Well, the test was the usual SHL and deadline for sitting it was last week. The interview has now been scheduled to take place in The Hague/Amsterdam in the Netherlands or Chicago in the US.

@ Ochers

I am sure the network problems during the phone interview caused all these negative news. No wahala sha.

I havent heard anything from them, perhaps it's due to my location. Although my status still reads submitted, I'll just want n see

Thanks ochers, d reason I asked was bcos overtime it has been credit risk(default) but latest research by cffi revealed dat political risk has taken d no 1 spot for the first time n dat I think is owing to the bailout issues n also specially standchart has also lamented it influence in their business. I just hope we all get there

but credit risk still tops the biggest risk faced by banks in Canada and some other countries hahaha. don't dwell too much on pwc and banana report. hahaha

@ighoeve, don't misconstrue my point we re saying d same thing am only trying to c other views which may bias d decision of this hr guys who U n I both know dat they don't know much about d core business of their employers.

I mean is just like someone saying d primary risk of OTC trades is liquidity risk wen we all know the perennial risk of OTCs is default (counterparty) risk.

indeed hr is unbelievably clueless. that is why top banks now use the managers of business units as interviewers even in stage 1

Hey guys I'm a new member to this forum. I would like to thank you all for sharing your experiences in the interview; with your help I was able to pass the phone interview and am now invited to the final assessment.
In my turn I'd like to share my experience with others have haven't done their 1st interview yet.
Here are the questions I was asked:

- Introduce Yourself
- Why banking?
- Why did you apply for the program?
- Biggest challenge facing SC
- Example of a time you worked in a team
- Example of a time you motivated others
- Example of a time you helped someone overcome a struggle

The interview took around 50 minutes.

I still have the final assessment and once I do it I'll tell you guys how it went. Meanwhile can someone who has done the final assessment please tell us how it was and what it consisted of?

Thank you & Good Luck for all of you!
