Ho presentato la mia candidatura online. La procedura ha richiesto 3 settimane. Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso FactSet (Amsterdam) nel mese di giu 2016
Colloquio
The procedure consisted of:
- video interview with a recruiter (your motivation and understanding of FS/role and some basic financial knowledge)
- subsequent aptitude test (consisted of two parts: financial/market knowledge and numerical. Both were not too hard, but brush up on financial market knowledge, fractures etc)
- video interview with a recruiter and consultant (same as before but in more detail => focus is still primarily on FS/role)
- two face-to-face interviews with 2 consultants, 1 sales, 1 GM (more focus on financial knowledge, previous experience, future ambitions, situational awareness, software knowledge and general 'click')
I was not required to do a pitch/presentation during the in-office day.
