I applied online. I interviewed at Third Bridge (London, England) in May 2014
Interview
I found this job ads on milkround. I applied via the company's website by uploading cv and a cover letter. Then I got an email from a HR woman the next day, which said that I might very well fit their needs and asked for my availability for a phone interview. I had a phone interview with the same HR woman a week later. The interview lasted only 8 minutes. She asked me: how did I handle the transition from A-level to uni and the transition from school to work place? a time of working in a team? what does the company do and how does it do it? what would the challenges if you worked here? do you have any experience of talking to people you don't know and asking them information?
She didn't make a face-to-face appointment at the end of phone conversation, which was a clear sign of rejection, considering the experience of other people who posted here. I was rejected by email in two days, saying my skill set is not strong enough to match the needs and expectations for this position.

Question 1
No tricky questions and very standard. But a 8 minutes phone interview?! I don't know how this HR person decided to reject me so promptly. I joked about this experience with friends as "8 minute wonder". Had bad phone connection with her. Initially the connection was lost after 21 seconds. Then she called back. But it was still bad and the sound was very low. Maybe that's why she had to rush away and hang up before I said thank you and goodbye.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Third Bridge (New York, NY)
Interview
Dont let them trick you into thinking this is an actual research position. You will be cold calling people most of your day. The interview process is relatively simple, first spoke with a recruiter who passed me onto an in-person round. I never heard from them after that.

Question 1
Given this case industry, what types of industry experts would you contact on behalf of a client who is looking to invest in a company within that sector.
Had an interview for Forum role in Hongkong. Straightforward interview. The recruiter was very pleasant and nice, she was very professional. Prepare for your understanding of the role, although she was very nice in explaining the role in details, you knew it’s a major concern if you have no idea about the position youre applying. She also provides transparent feedback which I really appreciates. Not all companies or recruiters do the same. I always see this recruiter in job fairs and she’s overall nice and very accommodating. I would recommend trying an interview as it will change your perspective about the company and the role.
I applied online. The process took 4 days. I interviewed at Third Bridge in Aug 2024
Interview
Firstly, HR called me, asked me basic questions and said there will be another interview with the Hiring Manager. The HR was really nice. Then I was mailed about the details about the interview and I was well prepared and excited about it. In the interview, the manager will ask you the most basic HR questions and won't even show any interest when you answer them and expect that you'd answer something extraordinary outside of your resume. I don't get it when the role doesn't align with the resume, why would you shortlist in the first place? Or have better questions to know the candidate. It was a time waste, I gave all the answers honestly I was well prepared for the questions they asked. Still they didn't take me without giving any feedback. I expected a lot more from this company honestly.
