      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Barclays (Bolton, England) in Apr 2015

      Interview

      Submitted my application online, after completing and scoring quite high on the brand values test as well as the numeracy and verbal reasoning tests was invited back for an interview. At this stage I found the supporting documents I submitted such as my CV and covering letter made a big impact on being invited to the 1:1 interview. Didn't get enough time to prepare for the interview as was told to book an interview slot within the next 2 days. Interview was quite simple went quite well, there was an emphasis on digital technology advancing in personal banking and expect candidates to be a little computer savvy. Basic customer orientated STAR questions probing to give motivations behind responses and how the result benefitted the business as a whole.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Why Barclays? What motivates you? Give me an example of a time: when you went out of the way to help a customer? when you were resilient? (what was your motivation behind this) (How did this impact the business) when you noticed unlawful behaviour? Give me an example of one of the digital channel you would use for communication in branch? (how would this be useful)
