Hi guys! I had a telephone interview with HSBC about a position within

operations in London. It lasted approximately 30 minutes and I was asked
maximum 15 questions - nothing relative to my resume though. Some of the
questions are:
1. describe a situation of team work/ did you have any problems with another
member of the team, how did you deal with it?
2. what do you do to develop yourself?
3. have you ever trained somebody/ new staff?
4. what do you do when you cannot find a solution to a problem?
5. describe a situation you showed leadership
6. how do you characterize yourself in Excel/ Access. give me some examples.
7. Describe the last time you delivered a task that required sustained effort
8. Have you ever changed your plans in order to prioritize something else?
9. how do you deal with an unsatisfied customer? have you ever had such an
experience?
10. what is your expectation with regards to the salary?
11. give me an example when you have successfully persuaded somebody
