      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at HSBC (London, England) in Sep 2022

      Interview

      Video Interview - Just completed it, so not sure if I'm onto the next stage but wanted to add questions as I couldn't find any on here already. I think it was more based on how you interact and speak, rather than the questions because they seemed pretty easy (lol).

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      1 - What interests you about this role and what skills and experience can you bring? 2 - If you had a complex, urgent task and a quick, non-urgent task, which would you complete and why? 3 - Do you have any flexible working requirements?
