Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How do you normally keep in touch with the markets?
Asked about solvency, liquidity and operational ratios, a lot about credit analysis and balance sheet questions.
Being friendly and coming off helpful is a must, but technical are equally important
Invited to online interview as part of application process. Wasn’t speaking to anyone, just had to record my answer to a serious of questions which I got a short period of time to prepare
