Spring Weeks 2012 Thread

just got a missed call from an unknown number. Does anyone know if this could be a bank?

The only banks I'm aware of doing that is MS and CS last year.

I mean, calling without notification

HSBC called me from a private number for scheduling a telephone interview

thanks. i have applied to both of these banks. will they call back?



i havn't applied to hsbc, but thankyou

HSBC rejection :/

Tough luck once again man ;/ Was this pre or post testing btw?

just got an ICAP AC invite...

haven't heard back from any banks yet other than a few numeracy tests. (Applied last week for all my stuff).

Same here, AC invite. Did you pick a date?

UBS and CS so far. Gonna apply to DB (all their schemes), the HSBC first year internship and BOAML now that I have two references for my CV. Can't think of any more deadlines.

Nah, don't be sorry, I kinda saw it coming as I haven't done any form of Maths for well over a year, thought they would look at my personal skills as I am quite good at selling events and products and can argue up a storm, politics student ya see. It was also a last minute decision to apply as I wanted to do some political internships but none of them are expenses paid, whereas IB spring weeks are expenses paid and my family can't afford for me to go to London for a week. Need to polish up on my maths m'thinks!
