Application Process & Interviews at E&P Financial Group

Once applied online and applications had been reviewed, a group of around 50 individuals were invited to an assessment day in their city office which included a range of activities in a group setting as well as an interview. A select few were then invited to complete an online assessment.

The interview process and assessment day ran extremely smoothly. There were three activities including a group task, group presentation and interview each having clear correlation to the role. Objectives and expectations were made clear and insight into the role was also clearly established.

Very fair interview process

There were two sets of interviews - each interview had different interviewers. The interviewers were all very nice, friendly and easy to chat with. Went through self-introductions and a list interview questions.

Most recruitment processes in the industry are similar in that they are all extremely competitive, however I found this particular process to be a good middle ground of insight and testing. The process was as follows; 1. Apply 2. Receive a call from HR 3. In Person Interview 4. Online Test 5. Second interview and offer

I had two interviews where mostly the same questions were asked from there was a different panel assessing me in each interview

I was asked the following: - About myself and what I am studying. - My interest in or knowledge on private wealth management. - How my current job related to this role at all.

How would people in your life describe you? - What would people in your life change about you? - Why do you want to work here? - where else have you applied?

Some of the questions asked: Tell me a bit about yourself - work, study, hobbies, etc. Have you ever experienced conflict within the team? How did you resolve it? If I was to ask your previous employers for a weakness about you, what would they say? How do you prioritise your time when you have many tasks to complete? How do you work within a team?

Tell me about your background? - Why would you like to work at Evans & Partners?

Why do you want to work at Evans and Partners? Describe a time when you have used attention to detail? What are some of your hobbies?

Go over basic interview questions and prepare answers beforehand. This will help with answering the questions smoothly during the interview. If you do need time to answer during the interview, ask them to give you a few minutes and move onto the next question. Do some research on the company as well.

Prepare for interview thoroughly and do mock questions and answers - Keep up to date with industry - Study your interviewers
