I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at HSBC (Leicester, Angleterre) in Jul 2015
Interview
I was given a sheet where I was asked to answer the main questions about Why HSBC? What skills can you bring? In the interview process when I was asked the competency questions I was not asked company questions. The competency questions were Tell me about a time you had to deal with a 1) problem/complaint, 2) a challenging situation 3) delivered great customer service 4) took initiative/ influenced someone 5) learnt from a mistake, there are six questions but I can't remember them all. I then did a situational test call, where the manager would call through pretending to be the customer and I had to input the information and advice the customer. They were going on holiday so I suggested currency money and you have to try and offer other products like loans. Make sure you look at the right accounts, look at the figures correctly like the balance of their mortgage and if you are processing a loan, say that you will get back to them to confirm that it has gone through.

I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at HSBC in Jul 2015
Interview
I applied online and was called for a phone interview the next day. The interview was straight forward and only lasted 20 minutes. The interviewer was friendly and asked questions about my previous work experience, education and why I applied for HSBC and specifically the role which I applied for. I was also asked some competency questions but these were fairly straight forward, such as "What is good customer service?" and why is it important to resolve customer complaints during the first conversation?"
