I've got the interview coming up for Maersk on Monday too. Not sure what questions will come up. I'm studying Mathematics, with a couple of Broking internships, so I will get asked why Maersk? Why shipbroking? etc.

Also, have submitted the Clarksons application. They will probably get back in the next couple weeks.

What is everyone else studying?

Good luck mate, I've just come on and saw your message. I got told the first interview is HR style questions, so I think you've nailed it in terms of what to prep.

I sent you a pm also, let us know how it goes.

Just had the interview. A lot of good guys at my interview today, all with broking or shipping experience. It went really well for me, and I scored high in the assessment apparently, but they are only taking 3-5 places for the 45 people who have been there the past few days, so that doesn't fill me with confidence. Good luck regardless guys

lol. Do you have any idea how many peeps have been invited? Cant be more than 30 if its just one AC? How many positions available?

Reply 53

Ok well there is 3 group interviews, 10 per interview, so 30 of us left.

I presume there is about 10 positions available. Does that sound reasonable to you?

Oh I see... my understanding was that there was only one date and they still had to decide which one out of the three, according to availability. If you are correct then there will probs be at least 15 ppl per AC. I see them taking up to 5 grads max. 10 would be a whole new team.

Hopefully we will get more colour on all of this next week

Yeah I re-read the e-mail and I agree with you, I believe there is just one date and they are still undecided between each.

Will probably be about 15 of us then, then they take 5?

I honestly Have no idea what It will be like. Most probably like a standard AC assessing how well you interact with the other candidates..

Wow only 15 of us left?? So theres circa a 1 in 3 chance of gettin da spot then. If theres just 15 then they do need to speed this process up... I would have had the different stages all done in 1 day.
