Saffery were far and away the quickest and most professional firm I applied to.
Questions d'entretien [1]
Question 1
Interview Questions were standard. Look into some topical real world events. Research thoroughly the sector you wish to enter. Come with lots of questions to ask.
Case Study section is much harder. To prepare for this, research P+L sheets as well as a balance sheet. Look into various strategies to improve a business. You’ll be asked to suggest improvements for a fictional company after reading a document with some information on them.
This section isn’t so much a test of your economic knowledge, more a test of how you cope under pressure and what things you suggest.
