In Reply To: OK, first off I was bad and didn't ask the interviewer if he was a HR person, outsourced, or IM himself. My bad. The interview lasted 40 minutes. Questions I can remember: "Experience managing a team in difficult circumstances". "Time you made a decision without all the facts, and what was the outcome" "Why HSBC, Why Banking?" "How you motivated a team, how large was it, etc." "Experience with complex financial modeling". "Experience in other cultures, dealing with difficult people, etc" Thats about all I can remember. It was reasonably fast paced. I was only interrupted a few times where I was taking the question too literally. Interview lasted 40 minutes. I was told I would be informed of pass/fail within 10 days via email then follow up phone call. And that from there Assessment centers were running until the end of the year for openings begining Jan-June 2006.
Message: Hi, johncarleton, Thanks for the notes, I think it will be helpful as I am conducting this interview in a few days, how did you go with your application, any further advice?
