      Assistant Analyst Interview

      6 Dec 2016
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Providence, RI
      No offer
      Positive experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied through university. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at John Hancock (Providence, RI) in Oct 2016

      Interview

      Two people in the finance department came on campus to interview me. They just asked me to go through my resume and talk about major points. At the time I was studying to get my CFA level 1 and they asked a lot of questions about that (how much I'm studying, how I make time to study, if I have a tutor, etc.). Both people were very nice and welcoming. I had not prepared detailed enough questions to ask because I was prepared to speak with an HR representative. Had I known I would be speaking with people in the department I was applying for I would have asked some questions about the DOL ruling or market volatility. Three weeks after the interview I got a very curt email saying I would not be getting a second interview. Overall this was a positive experience, I learned how valuable the questions at the end of the interview are and I learned that maybe a job in active asset management is not for me.

      Question 1

      Why are you seeking a job as an analyst as opposed to an investment banker or securities trader?
