It says on the email that:
You should allow 2 hours for your visit during which time there will be a written math’s test, an informal presentation from our team and an opportunity for you to put your questions to the Directors.

As I will be having this interview next thu 30th March. so Any tips will be welcome.

Just ensure you can do multiplication and subtraction, show some keeness and you will sail through. There's nothing to worry about, the training (1 month) is intensive though, it will involve you showing initiative all the way...
 
yes keeness will be there with some sort of ambition. think i will be ok iwht the numbers hopefully they are not going to be too many questions in too little time. (cos i heard from other forum that some of others firm give them 80 questions in 4 min for the interview with questions like 134/15 and stuff like 0.00313*0.0345

wish me luck guys. is there anyone who works there?

thank you agani guys

one guy was caught out when he went to the interview commando.

LOL :cheesy: :cheesy:

Did he want the job enough to drop his trousers anyway?
 
yes definately going in with a positive thoughts. anything that i am having would be a bonus to me. so whtever the outcome is going to be i would still be happy. either experience or a place over there!

yes i heard from different forum that they take a lot of ppl n kick some guys out every week. so on my states it may be a little risky as iam actually at work. (although it's not a well pay job at least it earns a living) but will see how it goes over there n will let u guys know. heard that the interview will take on 20 ppl from those guys n it consist of only one interview. (with an option of 2 days to choose from)

so all these trader story has to start off with failure with a very poor background isn't it? does that mean all those trader was born with a golden key in their mouth or do they just hang on until the end when they may be earning 100 quid a month?

actually i am just really eager to learn about anything in the stock market as this will definately benifit my future career. a trader may be one hard way to go for but i guess any other job ie. plumer, builder, doctor, chemist, sciencetist, teacher etc... they all havfe a wonderful sad story/path behind their back anyway. so might just get on with it with some kind of determination in the back of my mind.

my parents recently said to me son, when are u going to find a proper job n settle down as i am 25 already. ( although i am not a mummy's boy as i am on my own abroad living by myself n working in a small co as a broker, i do tend to listen to what they say) but i mean getting into the stock market to become a trader/broker can be a little risky in terms of employment but so is life right? even if u were working in a top tier investment bank u can still get sack after several years if u don't perform. my point is that i have not doubt in my mind that i want to learn as much as i can about the market so even in the future if i weren't doing sales/trades as my job i can still be doing work which are involved in the market. at least those figures n charts are what i am interested in anyway. hopefully faith n self beliefs will pay off at the end when they see me as thier millionaire son.

happy trading guys sorry it went into a little more personal thoughts. thx once again for the replies previously n encouragement!!!
 
hey i know that some guys will be at the interview as there were days on wed n thu but i chose thu when i called in. so any tips will help!!!

so were you asked to drop your trousers and do the cowboy rodeo?
 
to be honest to me it was more like a group presentation more than an interview. it only consists of maths questions n Q&A session. r u seriously considering it? i still ain't got any offer yet. but will let u know later

There weren't many questions, but maths test vary enormously from place to place. in the Q&A they said they won't kick you out after a month or so, but in some posts on this forum I have been reading the opposite. Taking a bunch of people and kicking everybody out till they have 5 left or so. So don't know what to think really.

@Charliechan
you didn't need to drop your pants and to be honest I've seen much funnier things happen at an inter-dealer broker.
 
yes mate but if u really think about it of course he is going to say that to make u happy. he said that u may be able to do 3 hours a month to get your salary going too!! anyway well done mate... i still ain't got my offer yet! did he call or email? was it from the delme address?
 
cheers! It was via email from the address you mentioned. He also mentioned on Thursday to call them if you hadn't heard anything by today.

I am very curious to know in the maths test they gave you :~

Were these compound questions ?

How many questions were you asked ?

Wre you allowed to use a calculator at all, I mean, were you expected to answer all of them using mental arithmetic exclulsively ?

Were you limited by time ?

Thanks.
