      Trainee Financial Planner Interview

      16 Aug 2019
      Anonymous employee
      London, England
      Average interview

      Application

      I interviewed at Saunderson House

      Interview

      Applications are via email. Interview consisted of 3 tests - Financial Planning Exercise (what questions would you ask/how would you invest an amount of money, compound interest calculations), maths test without a calculator (fractions, ratios, areas, shapes, percentages), Personality/In-tray exercise, choosing responses to various emails received. Passing those tests leads to an interview with HR. Standard competency based questions, nothing unexpected. This will lead on from the application form submitted. Overall the company was cold and overly formal/professional, in small offices. HR were rude and overall the experience was unpleasant. Passing this stage leads to a directors interview if you're interested, which I wasn't.

      Question 1

      All fairly run of the mill and unexciting

      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Saunderson House (London, England) in July 2019

      Interview

      Application form, CV and cover letter, personality test and numerical tests. Followed by an interview with HR and a final interview with directors. Quite a lengthy process. Very friendly HR who made me feel at ease during the interview process.

      Question 1

      Why do you want to be a financial planner? Why should I invite you back for a second interview?
