Went through a recruitment agency, which found the job for me
Had 2 step interview with middle and upper management. Management had some technical knowledge
No technical tests were done, just some random technical questions done verbally
Waited a while for between the two interviews
I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Standard Bank Group (Johannesburg) in Jul 2014
Interview
I applied online and was invited to a first round interview. I was interviewed twice on the day for two divisions in the bank and was asked typical behavioural type questions and questions around where I see myself in the bank.
I got through to the second round which consisted of a psychometric test and an assessment centre.
Candidates were emailed a case 3 days before the assessment centre and had to prepare a presentation. I presented the case and was asked questions relating to it and more behavioural questions.
The assessment centre interviews were difficult because I had limited knowledge of accounting and finance. (I majored in economics and politics).
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Richard Branson is in an elevator with someone who presents him with an opportunity to enter the light bulb market. What should he ask/do?
I was so shocked at the question I can't recall it exactly
I applied online. The process took 2+ months. I interviewed at Standard Bank Group (Lagos) in May 2013
Interview
It was a panel interview with 4 people. I get the feeling there were mostly HR people and not my prospective colleagues. The role I got hired for will be determined by thier assessment of my personality and attitude.
