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.

let's assume you have a sequence of 36 integers consisting of just 1's and 0's (i.e. 01010101..., 10000100... ). Can you construct a sequence such that every subsequence of length 5 is unique? Let's assume that you start with 00000. How would you construct it? (For instance, if you start with 00000100001..., then it's not valid since you have two subsequences (00001, 00001) of length 5 that are identical).
