Trader Interview Questions

Trader Interview Questions

La personne chargée du recrutement cherchera à évaluer vos connaissances des marchés financiers et à s’assurer que vous avez un avis argumenté sur le sujet. Vous devrez aussi probablement répondre à des questions sur votre personnalité et sur vos compétences de vendeur. Montrez que vous êtes au fait des dernières nouvelles des marchés boursiers et exprimez-vous avec assurance et conviction.

Questions d'entretien d'embauche fréquentes pour un trader (H/F) et comment y répondre

Question 1

Question 1 : Parlez-moi d’une action que vous vendriez ou achèteriez maintenant.

How to answer
Comment répondre : Voici l’occasion de mettre en avant vos compétences de vendeur et de vous montrer convaincant. Choisissez une entreprise que vous connaissez bien et soyez prêt à répondre à des questions complémentaires. Argumentez votre réponse sans hésitation.
Question 2

Question 2 : Quelle est la décision la plus risquée que vous ayez prise ?

How to answer
Comment répondre : Si la prise de risque fait partie intrinsèque du métier de trader, cette question vous permet aussi de montrer que vous évaluez les risques de manière réfléchie et bien informée. Expliquez votre cheminement, pourquoi prendre ce risque vous a paru opportun et quel a été le résultat. Cette question vise également à évaluer l’assurance avec laquelle vous justifiez vos décisions.
Question 3

Question 3 : Parlez-moi d’un événement qui s’est produit récemment sur les marchés financiers et dites ce que vous en pensez.

How to answer
Comment répondre : Cette question a un double objectif. D’une part, montrer votre réel intérêt dans les marchés financiers et votre capacité à rester informé dans un contexte qui change quotidiennement (lisez pour cela régulièrement les sites/journaux financiers réputés). D’autre part, exprimer votre point de vue personnel, et tenter de vous démarquer des autres candidats.

Two people are 60 km apart. If the two people, one travelling at 25 km and another at 35 km, will collide into each other and there is a fly that can travel at 40 km, then how much distance will the fly cover before the two people collide? If there is one pad in a pond and the number of pads doubles every day, it'll take 30 days for the pads to fill the pond. How long will it take for the pads to fill the pond if there were 8 pads on the first day? A person asks his friend the ages of his three daughters. The friend says that if their ages are multiplied then the answer is 36. The person says "that isn't information". The friend says that if you add their ages then it's equal to my house number. The person says there still isn't enough information. The friend says that my youngest daughter has blue eyes. The person says "OK I know now". What are the ages of the daughters?

You and a friend are betting on individual games of the World series. For each game, if your team wins, you win a certain (positive) amount of money, and if your team loses, you lose that amount. You and your friend create a betting scheme such that you will win 1000 dollars if your team wins and lose 1000 dollars if your team loses, regardless of the game score (it could be 4-3, 2-4, etc.). How much do you bet on the first game?

Every morning, Mike the security guard at CP high school opens all 1000 doors in the building. Let's assume the doors are numbered 1-1000. The next security guard closes all even numbered doors. The third security guard touches all doors that are multiples of 3. If a door is open, he'll close it and vice versa. The fourth guard changes the position of every fourth door (if it's open he'll close it etc.,) and the fifth guard changes the position of every fifth door and so on, until the 1000th guard changes only door 1000. HOW MANY DOORS ARE LEFT OPEN IN THE END?
