Solicité el puesto a través de la recomendación de un empleado. El proceso duró 3 semanas. Acudí a una entrevista en CIBC World Markets (Toronto, ON) en dic 2015
Entrevista
- Connected with a person in senior management
- She helped me to go through internally to directly meet the hiring manager and the head of department without any application or HR
- HOD is a math geek and tested me on a lot of complex financial products; we both took out our pen and paper & solved problems like geeks and had a good time.
- After HOD the hiring manager came and asked questions based on my prior market risk experience from my resume; what the dept does; what will be my day to day; how can i fit in? what do i need to prepare myself for?
- Both meetings went well but the senior management decided to give the position to internal candidates.
