Interview
The interviewer was very warm and had a really nice phone manner- put me at ease, and there was a clear sense that she wanted me to do well. The interview itself was comprehensive, including competency-based questions, and questions about my personal motivations, skills and working style. There was also a thoroughly enjoyable brain teaser. Top tip- read the competency guidelines for Nomura hiring on TargetJobs, and don't be afraid to actually show your personality. And be ready to think outside the box!
