First interview experience at China Merchants Bank

First interview experience at China Merchants Bank

Generally speaking, the first interview is not difficult. It is basically a structured interview, and then a few simple questions are asked. Formal bank interviews are so strict! The following is my first interview experience at China Merchants Bank. I hope you like it.

I received the SMS notification at 10pm on the 26th and went to the interview location at 4:30pm the next day. At that time, I was a little reluctant to go, because I did very poorly in the previous written test (anyway, I did very poorly), and I didn’t have time to check the answers in the subsequent English reading. There was also the last essay question about the central bank’s interest rate hike, which made me answer it on the spot. I want to go home) and the interview with the Bank of Communications (this interview made me know that banks have very high image requirements, and my face is worthy of the audience, but my height is only 170cm, and my body shape is seriously thin) The shock was too severe, I felt that I It's not a bank job, and the head office of China Merchants Bank only recruits 50 management trainees nationwide, and the Wuhan area is probably only recruiting single digits, so why bother yourself. After struggling again and again, I finally decided to go out and see the world. So I was busy preparing the materials to be handed in the next day, frantically reading about my interview experience, a resume specially made for China Merchants Bank, picking out a digital photo I was satisfied with from the computer and developing 5 photos of my life. After losing the long hair that I had accumulated over the past 2 months, I felt refreshed after taking a shower and changing clothes. I looked at myself in the mirror and my self-confidence suddenly increased.

However, this greatly increased self-confidence did not last until 2 hours, and was knocked down by the group of partners (or competitors) who also applied for the job. I arrived at the Hony Hotel more than half an hour early. First I felt the splendor of the four-star hotel, and then I chatted with elites from Wuhan University, China University of Finance and Economics, and University of Finance and Economics. I'm not a very enthusiastic person originally, but I couldn't help but become enthusiastic in that enthusiastic atmosphere. As soon as I got out of the elevator, I shook hands with GG, a Chinese worker sitting next to me. I complimented him on how handsome he was, but he said that he had to make up for his poor congenital condition (which was quite humorous). Then I noticed that all the GGs and MMs present were dressed formally and looked mature and professional. Of course I was also in a suit and leather shoes, but I was missing a tie (too lazy to buy or tie), and I was among the boys. He was considered a short one, so the confidence he had accumulated before was completely lost at this moment.

But in this case, let’s break the pot and throw it away. I am here to have fun anyway. I think this kind of mentality should not be possessed by these outstanding people. Half an hour later, as soon as the last batch of interviewees came out, one of our classmates asked them about the interview procedure. When they heard it, they knew that it was a self-introduction and the other was a case analysis (fortunately, there was no English speech). I was designing lines for self-introduction at that time, intending to highlight my strengths from three aspects. I am used to this kind of point-by-point narrative.

Entering the examination room (a conference room), after everyone sat down, they began to submit their resumes and life photos, and folded a Mitsubishi pillar sign and wrote their names. Then I introduced myself in order of seating. I was in the middle and still had time to formulate ideas. But after listening to the introductions of the previous few, I was not in the mood to formulate ideas. These people are not only better than the last, but also more prepared than the last, and each has a louder voice than the last. For example, some have interned at branches of the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China and the Bank of Communications; some have been presidents of student unions and chief presidents of some starry sky clubs; and some have combined the corporate culture of China Merchants Bank and talked about their own personalities. To prove that you are the person that China Merchants Bank has been looking for. Some girls published 7 papers, some girls did 7 projects, and some girls won the first prize in the National English Speech Contest.

When it was my turn, I was almost scared. In addition, my ability to express myself was not strong, so I introduced myself intermittently and lacked confidence. I talked about three points. The first is that my logical thinking ability is relatively strong (I originally wanted to use "strong", but I insisted on saying "comparative" at the time). To prove this point, I said my The postgraduate entrance examination score was 420 points, 29 points higher than the second place, and the math score was 149 points. The second is that I know a lot about search engines and the Internet, and I have a relatively good understanding of the Internet market, products, and user needs (again, "comparison"). Third, I talked about my own personality traits: down-to-earth, sincere, rigorous, serious, focused and meticulous.

That's it. When I introduced myself, my peripheral vision told me that everyone was laughing at me, as if they were saying "You are here to die!".

The second link is case analysis. I will give you one minute to read a case: To put it simply, 6 bees and 6 flies were put into two bottles respectively for experiment, and the bottom of the bottle was Looking towards the window, I found that all the bees were dead and all the flies escaped. What can you draw from this experiment? Then came the interviewer (I forgot to explain that the interviewers were two MM HRs, in fact one was an assistant, A conductor interviews) random people to answer. First of all, I clicked on a girl. She spoke so well and had so many opinions and thoughts (almost everything I could think of anyway) that I couldn’t bear her impassioned remarks. Keep taking notes. This also directly led to the fact that after she finished speaking, when HR asked me for the second time, I was still writing and remembering it. My mind was completely blank at that time, but I still had to speak word for word for two words. Points: First, bees love the sun too much, so they eagerly make some incorrect and unreasonable behaviors - crashing into the bottom of the bottle. This case tells us that we should stay clear-headed when dealing with some things or opportunities that we are interested in. and calmness (which seems completely unreasonable now). Second, from a popular point of view, bees are often excellent and loved by others, while flies are disgusting and even despised by others. However, flies can sometimes do things that bees cannot. things, so we must be tolerant and give everyone a chance (this is okay, several speeches later mentioned this point. Of course, the subsequent speeches are still very exciting, some apply experiments to management, and some Related to China Merchants Bank's corporate culture innovation, some people compare six flies and bees to a team, and some people say that bees and flies represent these two business strategies. There is nothing right or wrong in itself. The key lies in the choice based on the environment and market, etc.

The third step is to ask questions. I didn’t ask questions because I didn’t know CMB. If I couldn’t ask good questions, I might as well not ask them at all. For example, some students raised questions that I personally didn’t think were very good. For example, there was one question. A handsome guy asked China Merchants Bank why there was such a long gap between the written test and the interview this time. It was inconsistent with China Merchants Bank’s usual high work efficiency. Then HR mm replied that this time China Merchants Bank was recruiting uniformly across the country. It was very hard for them. They traveled all over the country, often at night. Go to bed after 2 o'clock. The boy quickly explained that he did not blame China Merchants Bank, but just wanted to know the recruitment process of China Merchants Bank. He also said that he had been worried about failing the written test and so on. Another girl said that we were interviewing this time. There will definitely be many students who will not be able to advance to the next round, but they still want this interview to be helpful for future interviews. I hope HR will tell her that the ability that China Merchants Bank values ??most in interviews is still the same. HR said that according to industry regulations, they will not. Tell us the qualities or abilities that we value most, but we should be able to see the employment standards of China Merchants Bank from China Merchants Bank’s online recruitment. If her answer cannot satisfy such a MM question, I hope she can go online and look at other people’s interview experiences. Find the answer.

The fourth link is recommendation. Each person recommends two people and explains the reason. During the recommendation process, it can be seen that some are selling favors or returning favors, that is, recommending their classmates and friends. I think this is also undesirable. I recommended two girls because they were calm, calm and organized when they spoke. This is one of the qualities that a manager should have. The first round of interviews is over here. I concluded that I failed and was relieved at the same time.

China Merchants Bank mainly tests everyone’s adaptability and teamwork ability during the interview process. Senior leaders will participate in the second interview. Whether you can get an offer through the second interview depends on your on-the-spot performance. Students who have previous experience in debate interviews will have some advantages;
