Interview Preparation Tips

Round: Technical Interview
Experience: I think the company was looking for:
• Leadership skills
• Domain experience
• Profile
• Attitude
• Aptitude/problem solving skills
• Enthusiasm/passion
• Any other factors that may be important
Profile, Clarity in thought, Enthusiasm, Problem solving skills,
Pleasant Personality, etc.
- The way you present the details in your resume can play a crucial
role in getting you a call from HSBC.
- Luckily and thank heavens that CGPA does NOT play a part in
shortlisting for HSBC – Thank God for small mercies!
- The selection procedure for all divisions of HSBC including I-Bank
is similar.
- All shortlisted candidates would have to undergo a psychometric
test, which is a variation of Conjoint Analysis for getting to know
your work preferences!
Tips: - Prepare for a usual general interview questions like Why HSBC, Why
Banking, Run me through the resume, etc.?
- Be prepared with one area of interest in Banking – Most people here
had said corporate banking and something specific in that – I had
said Dividend Policy.
- Be extremely thorough with all sorts of possible questions on your
Resume – I was asked questions on BPO!
