      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at HSBC (Hong Kong) in Oct 2018

      Interview

      There are 3-4 stages in the complete interview process and I only managed to get through to the 2nd round. The first one is an online test and the questions cover everything from calculating profits margins to company profile analysis to situational questions. They give you a personality-quiz like feedback report afterwards. The second stage is the job simulation test and it includes video responses, doing maths and situational questions

      Question 1

      Your client wants to transfer a sum of money to another company's account, but the system rejects the transaction due to 'suspicious behavior'. Your client cannot supply the necessary documents but still wants you to complete the transfer. How would you respond?
