First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at J.P. Morgan.
Intern
It was a Hirevue Round. They asked 3 standard questions: tell me about yourself, why JPM/Division, and tell me about one of the important things impacting financial markets. Overall, the process was a little tough, but it was easy to prepare answers and sound natural.
- Can you tell me about yourself?
- Why are you interested in J.P. Morgan and this specific division?
- What is a significant factor currently affecting financial markets?
Intern
I did a Hirevue with 3 questions, and each had a 2-minute time limit. They were mostly behavioral, asking things like why I chose JP Morgan and financial services, why this particular role, and how my degree has prepared me for it.
- Could you discuss a significant recent event and its potential impact on financial markets?
- Can you explain your interest in JP Morgan and the financial services industry?
- What motivates your interest in this specific position?
Intern
I did a HireVue interview, which is this online thing where you answer pre-recorded questions on video. They asked stuff from their bank, like market knowledge, behavioral questions, and technical skills. I prepped, but it was tough because it's automated, no real-time chat. The time limits made it hard to think straight. I didn't pass this part. It was a bummer, but I learned a lot. I need to practice speaking my answers out loud, get better on camera, and use frameworks like STAR for behavioral stuff. I'll try to get feedback, keep practicing virtual interviews, and use mock interviews and workshops. I want to do better next time.
