Candidate interview experiences
First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at European Investment Bank.
Intern
The interview process involved a recruiter call, then a presentation, and finally a technical interview. Overall, it was manageable. There was limited time for thinking, followed by a 3-minute speaking slot, though you could finish earlier if you felt you were done.
- Why would you like to work at this company?
- Can you answer a technical question?
Intern
After screening your CV, cover letter, and other application bits, we'll invite successful folks to do a Hirevue interview. If that goes well, you'll get invited to an online interview where you'll chat with two interviewers for about half an hour. It takes a while, but it's totally worth it - I had an amazing learning experience and got to meet and work with some incredible people.
- Tell us about why you're interested in the EIB and this specific role.
- How has your past experience prepared you to succeed in this position?
- Could you start by introducing yourself?
Traineeship
Got invited for 2 out of 3 of my preferred trainee positions 3 weeks after applying. Waiting on feedback. Interviews were tough due to the tight time limits, even with prep like research and diction practice. Some questions were tricky, seeming to pack multiple questions into one, which cut down the time even more. I managed to say most of what I intended, but my nerves slightly impacted my delivery. It was my first time with this interview style, and while I liked it somewhat, I really don't enjoy having a clock ticking in front of me. I approached the interview for my top choice with the mindset that if I got too nervous, it wouldn't mess up my favorite option, and that strategy helped.
- For Option 1: Why are you interested in joining this team?
- For Option 1: Can you share an example of when your communication skills positively impacted a situation?
- For Option 1: What are the primary difficulties currently faced by EU external policies?
