HSBC Summer Work Experience Placement Events

Ah okay that's great! It feels satisfying to have something with the HSBC logo on it, my name, and them saying that they want to see me or maybe that's just me...

Ah right that sounds absolutely fantastic. I absolutely believe the same: if nobody else is wearing a tie, I won't, etc.

What is your post name?

Ohh wow that's so good! Were there many work experience kids there?

No my work experience starts on the 30th June so I still have couple of weeks to go, I cannot wait

Btw what kind of clothes did you end up wearing and what was the atmosphere like?

Ah, thanks. Nope, only me!

That's brilliant, hope you have fun.

I know you're female, but I wore a grey suit, with a white long sleeve shirt and brown brogues. I wore a different colour tie each day, formal colours though. All of the female employees wore a white blouse and grey pencil skirt, along with heeled shoes.

I tried to maintain a good relationship with all of the staff, this may help me in the future with contacts, etc. Another thing is that all of them are really, really nice people.


Hope this helps and have fun!

Thanks!x
Oh okay that's alright then coz I was planning to wear pencil trousers with formal tops and heeled shoes as well!

I hope the people in my office are equally nice and I get to create a few contacts too along the way!

Thankss again!

They've asked me to do an online assessment last week which I've done and now I'm still waiting for a reply if they'll offer me a telephone interview. I've applied for the Commercial Business Analytics Work Experience Placement btw.

I called the HSBC Recruitment Centre on +44 20 7832 8500 and a guy called Matt that I spoke to told me that I had secured the work experience!

how did you apply for it? from which website?

Is this work experience program any good, can you work at the head office in Canary Wharf, or do you have to work at a local branch?

It is good, especially for the CV.

No, HSBC do not allow children on their HQ at Canary Wharf, it is usually in local branches, or in some large branches, such as Ealing Broadway, London.

I am thinking about applying, I have already got some great work experience anyway. Why do they not let GCSE students in their HQ?

Where have you got work experience?

That's great! That person may be able to get you in!

Because they don't want children running around inside, I guess?

It was last year, I managed to get some at a private equity firm through a contact

Well done!

Thanks, seen your other posts, are you interested in IB/finance?-What work experience have you done?
