Hahaha, he's certainly not that stupid.

The more knowledge you have compared to him/others, the greater advantage you hold. Usually the case anyway, unless you recite your answers as if you were reading from a piece of paper, which is what recruiters can easily pick up on.

 

[ayehann]

bahaha... it was worth a try :L

 

[ayehann]

People who had their today! howd it go? was it intimidating? how many interviewers? and goodluck to everyone else yet to have theirs

People who had their today! howd it go?

Mine was rather excellent. I think I hit the right note everytime.

was it intimidating?

No, no, no. It was exactly the opposite. The interviewer was just so good. He tried to promote conversation rather than some asking some opened-ended questions. He himself stressed that this interview is supposed to know more about you. Most of questions that he asks have no right answer. You can basically tell him whatever you want (as long as they are not some really retarded answers like...I want to be CEO of UBS within 3 years of being in there).

Just relax. He is extremely nice and everything. You will be alright.

how many interviewers?

Just one person.

But seriosuly, be honest. I think he is really smart. He knows that you are pulling answers out of your head or not. And if you talk about things that are completely opposite to what you wrote on application, well...

BTW, 30 people got called up altogether. I forgot to ask how many get shortlisted...

EDIT:

Result of interview comes out on wednesday next week. It shows whether you got shortlisted or were unsuccessful. Then what happens is that UBS will give you a reply about acceptance in September. So if you get into other cadetship (i.e. accounting cadetship) before September and if you accept it, you have to notify the Professional Business Cadetship that you are going to do Accounting Cadetship instead of this.

All in all, I don't think you can prepare for this. Just be honest really. The interviewer has too much knowledge and senses to be deceived lol

Actually 45 minutes.

I think in the interview I talked about 55% and he talked about 45% so as I said, it's quite conversation-like.

Ye, it will be pretty hard to stuff up because he leads you to answer the questions quite well.

Just relax and be honest and ye, everything will be sweet as.
