You do not need to be an expert, but you need to demonstrate your knowledge and focus on the job or business area for which you have applied. You should research general information about the firm, gain an understanding of the markets in which we operate and have a more detailed knowledge of your chosen business area. Asking insightful questions is a great way to begin a good conversation and promote dialogue. Know the people. Make sure you attend one of our campus presentations or events and meet with representatives from UBS. Get a sense of who we are, how we operate as an organization and what our current and future priorities are. Read all about it. The most outstanding candidates demonstrate knowledge and understanding of our business and the market environment in general. Consult finance media (newspapers, magazines, websites), look at how UBS is positioned and check economic indicators such as the stock market and interest rates. Explore our website, and if you know somebody at UBS, talk to them.Interview techniques Relax and be yourself. If you’re properly prepared, you have no reason to be nervous. Think of the interview as a focused conversation. There is no need to put on an act or impress by exaggerating.Be open and honest. We want to know about your ideas, interests and experiences, so that we can discover what you have learned from them. We want to know more about your thought processes and how you resolve issues and address problems. Who you are is important to us, so tell us.Answering questions Listen and think. Listen carefully to the question, and think about what the interviewer is really asking. Take your time, you do not have to answer immediately. Repeating or rephrasing the question or asking for clarification can be a good way of posing your thoughts and preparing your answer.Some people just start talking without thinking about what I39。m really asking. If you haven39。t thought about the question, what39。s the point of trying to answer? – UBS recruiterDon39。t pretend you know. If you don’t know something, it’s better to admit it. Honesty will get you further than bluffing. Some people think that if they take up time and fill space, I won39。t notice that they don39。t know the answer. – UBS recruiter Open up. Don39。t limit your answers. Open questions give you the chance to express yourself, so be thorough and give appropriate examples in your responses.Be direct. On the other hand, try not to be longwinded in answering a very specific question. Brevity can be a virtue, especially when time is a factor, so get to the point as quickly as you can.Experience counts.
