请教资深人士几个面试问题的回答：
1、What have you learned from your mistakes?
2、What action would you take if you disagreed with a decision of a superior?
3、What kind of decision do you find most difficult?
4、How have you coped when your work has been criticised?
5、What is the worst situation you have faced outside work?
6、What have you failed to achieve to date?
先整这几个吧，谢谢了。急盼中

first let us have your best answers.

that's one thing you should learn before entering the business world: if you don't give, you won't get. and usually it is a case of first give and then you will get.

Although I am not sure what I answered is appriate or not, I first try to give my answers, just as Yoda said.

1. What have you learned from your mistakes?

I will give one example of competitor analysis that I missed the deadline because I tried to mine the data although it is limited. Boss told me don't plunge the data mining too much, and a better method you just had is enough. Then I completed the work in the way of boss utilizing several very simple ratios.

From this mistake I learned that don't focus on the detail too much to lose the big picture.

2.What action would you take if you disagreed with a decision of a superior?

Firstly, I will try to understand what the supervisor think. If I still insist I am right, I will discuss the ideas with the supervisor in more detail. Finally, make sure which way may go, his or mine.

Then take action.

3.What kind of decision do you find most difficult?

Dicision based on not enough info is most difficult. You have not much confidence what you decided is right or not.

4.How have you coped when your work has been criticised?

It is similar with Q2. Discuss with the boss and take action.

5.What is the worst situation you have faced outside work?

Definitely, I could not answer that.

6.What have you failed to achieve to date?

I have 2 ways to answer the question, I am not sure which is better:

A: Give an example about past failures of one project, but which is not relevant to the requirement of the position.

B: As a team leader, I could not retain one of the members. Because he will go to Canada for further study.

i won't comment too much now, but one thing you need to watch is that never say that you missed the deadline, ever.

When the question is not so specific, don't be so specific in your answer.

Thanks a lot. I will talk with the agency this afternoon and find how they would answer.

any updates from your agency?

what can you do if you still have not reached an agreement with your boss after discussion?

the boss makes the decision, ultimately. that's why s/he is referred to as the 'boss'.

想请教一下各位几个问题,是在填apllication form中遇到的:

1.Describe a situation where you have had to adapt to unforeseen circumstances, including the results.
2.Give an example of a team situation where you encouraged others towards a successful outcome, explaining your contribution to that team.
3.Describe a time when you saw a problem differently from others and then devised a solution. What was the solution and how did you arrive at it? What was the result?
4.Give an example during the last 12 months of an objective you have achieved using persistence and determination, and how you ensured you achieved your goal.

这类问题各位是怎么回答的呢? 能不能有艺术加工的成分呢?

如果可以的话,能不能给点启发或者范例.谢谢

偶也不懂，帮顶。

These types of questions are usually not the type where we can simply give you example answers. (Have a think about that.)

Instead it is far easier for us to help if you provide at least some rough idea of what example you can give, that sound like the kind of answers the questions demand. Perhaps then we can then recommend how you may tailor your answers to fit the questions better.

thank you.

对于我的问题大家有什么好的方法, 紧急等待..

我拿到一个公司的OFFER,是由学校和公司合作的. 我是需要和学校签合同,学校付我工资,但是工作地点去公司..

我拿的是配偶签证, 我原来是master然后转dependent 签证. 老公是PHD 学生, 我们的签证是今年12月底到期, 大家都知道签证只有提前1个月才可以.

现在那个学校要和我签合同, 需要我出示有2年的签证, 怎么办? 虽然跟他解释我可以继续留在这因为我老公明年还接着读,但他们需要passport valid 2 years.

大家有什么办法可以解决这个问题??

感谢中!!!

passport does not equal visa

我可能说的不清楚.. 因为我是dependent 签证,,可以工作.. 现在的问题是我签证只到2006年底.. 我们只能提前一个月签,人家工作不等我呀

Resolved yet?

请问申请材料里银行存款单可以是复印件吗？复印件加银行存款证明应该够了吧？
比较担心把原件上交啊

What are you applying for?

Visitor's Visa ¬¬ Planning to hand in documents next week in Beijing Visa Center.
Do I have to hand in the original bank deposit paper?

When in doubt, always hand in originals.

Make photocopies for yourself to keep just in case.

Any more questions?

帮老公问问，数据挖掘博士做quant靠谱么？
他的情况，欧洲大陆的博士，data mining的；欧洲大陆的硕士，人工智能的；国内的本科，软件工程的。年底毕业。
看了一些quant analyst的招聘，觉得还算对口，投了几个简历基本都石沉大海。
不知道是不是努力错了方向，data mining的想做quant，是不是压根就不靠谱呢？
投的都是中介，只有一个中介好像感兴趣的样子，通了两次电话问是否有其他面试什么的，但是也没说能给推荐到哪个公司。

另外如果做developer，是不是更可行一些呢？不知道developer究竟比analyst差多少。

请牛人指教啦。

I think this is the key issue here. Why is your 老公 not asking the question here?

It shows to me that perhaps he is not interested in going down this route. Instead, it is you who is pushing him down this career path.

Why don't you bring him onto this website and ask the questions he wants to ask, in relation to his job application?

Unless he is absolutely convinced that getting a Quant job in IB is for him, then he will find it very difficult to succeed.

hehe,interesting
Actually, in Sunday, it's his job to cook a nice lunch and dinner for us,so...
well, to be honest, he doesn't know this website.
You are right,it is better to let him ask everything himself.
See you around lol

老公版的来了，谢谢yoda
学历就是我老婆说的那样了。
我投了大概10个中介的职位，除了一个中介发了简历2分钟就给我回电话以外，别的都一点音讯也没有。这个唯一的中介之间又给过我两次电话，问最近有没有面试，有没有投别人家。今天下午这个中介说有一个公司，xxx，可能有一个职位，说下午跟公司谈一下帮我推荐，让我等消息，截至目前没有回信儿。

我的主要困惑就是我的这个基本情况经过努力，有没可能找到quant职位。因为很想进去，所以只要有可能就会加油。现在的问题就是觉得不知道如何快速有效的找到切入点，觉得茫然。
我列下我的劣势：
1。学校不牛
2。人不在英国 （倒是符合办hsmp的条件）
3。专业不是数学，物理，偏计算机 (是不是analyst可能性不大，developer更靠谱？）

别的先不说， 你的英语水平如何？

跟美国人基本没有问题，听说读写还都成。英国口音有点不适应，说快了容易跟不上。
欧洲人说我英语挺好，汗。

OK then, let's see how you do in demonstration:

Tell us all, in no more than 100 words (approximately) what it is that you do best ... ... remember not to get to technical.

我只想问为什么要通过中介啊？不可以自己直接找银行吗？你以前做过相关或者类似的工作吗？你的经历和quants的要求能联系起来吗？你知道quants做什么吗？

现在投行的市场很差，几乎英国家家都在裁人。所以中介不回你，也不用太介意。不过想在现在的市场中找到工作，你的简历必须更出色。一方面是你的硬实力，例如学历、职称……；另一方面是你的软实力，你对工作的热情和渴望……如果你相关经验不多，通过中介递简历可不是什么上上策。

硬实力 - can't change this much in the short term.


软实力 - this you can improve in the short term.
