Top Tips For Passing Your Barclays Interview!
TIP #1: Barclays Bank is a reputable financial institution, and they only hire people who can uphold the basic principles that set them apart from their rivals. We advise you to familiarise yourself with the five key values of Barclays Bank before the interview so that you may address them while answering questions about the company.
TIP #2: At your Barclays Bank interview, one of the main assessable qualities will be customer service. Consider at least one instance in which you provided exceptional customer service and care, as well as one instance in which you went above and beyond what was necessary for a client or customer.
TIP #3: During your Barclays Bank interview, you will be given behavioural interview questions. When composing your responses to these sorts of questions, we advise using the STAR approach. Explain the SITUATION, then the TASK that needed to be completed, then the ACTION you did to complete the TASK, and lastly describe the RESULT for the interview panel. We have given you a variety of STAR-based answers to the interview questions in the Barclays Bank Interview Questions and Answers guide.
TIP #4: Keep in mind that Barclays Bank has very high expectations, therefore you should act politely and respectfully throughout the interview. Be sure to have a solid list of questions to pose to the interview panel at the conclusion of your Barclays Bank interview. Also, remember to dress smartly and formally.
TIP #5: You will have the opportunity to ask the hiring committee a few questions at the conclusion of your Barclays Bank interview. Following are three sample queries that we believe would be appropriate for your interview with Barclays:
What might I do in this position to help you outperform your rivals?
What objectives does Barclays Bank have over the next five years?
If I am hired, what kind of training would I receive to familiarise myself with Barclays and the standards required of me?
