      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Barclays in Nov 2010

      Interview

      (1) Competency Interview This first interview was a pretty relaxed one to one chat with a manager or head of department. He asked me competency questions base in four specific areas and explained the interview outline clearly to me before he started timing. After all this questions, I had about 5-10 minutes to ask questions. (2) Problem Solving - Written The second program was a problem solving exercise where a certain scenario involving Barclays Bank was given to me and expected me to come up with an action plan with relevant supporting reasons. The action plan was to be written in a bulleted form on the booklet given to us. (3) Problem Solving - Presentation Immediately following the written test and a short 10min break, the HR lady gave us another piece of information followup to the previous case. We were given 15min to prepare a short presentation on A3 papers. (4) Lunch/Networking Usual buffet style lunch which you wouldn't really eat much because you are talking to the interviewers and other candidates. (5) Ability Tests The SHL reasoning test is just a replica of the online test. (6) Group Exercise - Case Study Each of us was given a information sheet on a country that Barclays was intending to invest into. We were then given 5min to read our individual countries before having 3min to present its opportunities and threats to the rest of the group. After that is a 20min group discussion to select the most feasible country and state supporting reasons.
