A few specific things largely account for why most people fail their online and in-person interviews. In this video I talk about some of the most common reasons for failing interviews and how you can make small adjustments in your interview preparation and technique in order to reap worthwhile rewards in any future interviews that you might have. Some of these reasons might sound like common sense but it’s surprising just how many people fail due to them. Thanks for passing by and enjoy the video!

I think lack of enthusiasm is one of the BIGGEST reasons why people fail - use your hands, smile, show you really want it and are hungry. I think that's what made my consulting offer tbh
I have over a decade industry experience and realised out of the dozens of interviews i’ve had as a candidate as well as employer that if you’re apathetic about the role or dont really want it, the person will sense this. Also the second thing is you need to be smart, capable and the interviewer needs to be confident you can do the role and is able to work with you.
I don't need to worry about failing interviews because I can't get any at the moment😂
Not being yourself is really struggling situation - I feel it. You rock 🙌🙌👏
One of your best for real
Very valuable information
Thank you for sharing
Appreciate the content!
Still waiting on that Industry finale reaction big man
Your videos really do motivate me to keep on learning about this vocation. Currently on my first year of college doing BBA.
Already got my job but videos still bang ngl
🙌🏽🙌🏽
Great tips. You sound very experienced.
i'm not entirely sure but i imagine x, y, and z...such great advice
Excellent video, fantastic insight. As someone who interviews candidates for IB, I have no further comments to add! 👍
Afzal, you had no clue when you began but now you're passing it on. God bless =)
Hey, very informative video! If you didn't work in asset management, which other division/divisions would you be interested in? Keep it up 👍
Im reliefed that your Shoulder seems healed.
Keep getting better. I like that your cuts are staedily decreasing.
Thanks a lot for the advise with the question at the end of the Interview
🙌🏽👊🏽
@@AfzalHussein you are way to fast😂😂😂
😂😂😂
Great video! Wonder if you could talk about financial institutions group in IB
I'm not even in finance (or consulting) and I love watching these videos. It might because I'm an MBA and some of the things he talks about are transferable to my industry/or post industry ambitions.
This guy is a straight version of Ibz Mo
Best CZcamsber ever .. hi is the most accurate
Afzal can you please give a video explaining the CISI qualification? Many thanks.
Hey afzaal , any chance of doing a video on online tests ? Ie verbal reasoning , mathematical aswell as situational judgment. I flunked my verbal reasoning on RBC internship
The first one - Royal Bank of Canada asking 16 yr old you to pitch an idea and tell them what’s going on in the market: sounds like a bad interview on their part. I’m sure they weren’t expect world-beating answers to those questions but they’re giving the candidate very little opportunity to demonstrate an ability to learn or to develop an idea. (So sounds like you dodged a bullet!)
I always prefer giving someone a problem and working through it with them, particularly if they’re entry-level (like a graduate). Someone so young shouldn’t be tested on ‘can you answer this’ but on ‘can you begin to do something interesting and/or useful with these materials’.
the enthusiasm one is huge. I had a networking call on friday and when im going over my current tasks/accomplishments the guy told me it sounded like i was just reading them with no tone of voice. I'm guessing it's because i've had a few interviews recently and i was repeating the same words..losing the enthusiasm.
Also, looking smart, like the shirt!
Thanks! 👊🏽
@Afzal where’s the shirt from
Do you have an interview prep course?
TT content 💯💪
Man said donut, I'm deceased 😂😂
Mate what software do you use to edit your videos (iMovie, final cut, Adobe premium)?
Final Cut Pro X
I wish this was 4 days before
hey afzal, i have a question. are buy side internships good if you’re seeking a sell side career, or will it put you at a disadvantage against other candidates.
Its gonna put you ahead of ppl without experience, but not ahead of ppl with more fitting internship experience
Hope that helps
What are the "serious" questions should I ask my interviewer?
Came in early early
👊🏽
Great vid as always.
I would like to know if there is an age limit for entering investment banking
How to contact you for cooperation
Would appreciate if you could do Big 4 TAS interview tips and tricks. Cheers
keep it up. 😉👊🏼
👊🏽
Has anyone used that Noah app before? Is it good
Have a 3rd round interview tomorrow. Just got an email saying it changed to a panel interview and I’m stressing tf out. Wish me luck yall 😂
Did you make it?
I used all these tips for an interview and it didn't work out for me. Guess I'm just not good enough for any finance role.
One of my interviews I was half alseep LOL! I didn't sleep well the night prior and my speech resembled a drunken man haha.
Did my first round of interview with Santander investment banking division last week and seriously all of your previous videos on how to prepare for the interviews REALLY REALLY helped. And also just in general all of the contents have been enlightening me so much about the industry and the job. So thank you so much from the bottom of my heart. Also want to ask a question. How important do you think are the accounting questions and other technicals for a summer intern interview? Do i have to get them all correct to have a better chance?
what uni did you go too?
@@okmate724 im an international student studying in hong kong
it sounds like you really have to sell yourself, your soul in these interviews, show why you really want it, even if the job/company itself is somewhat mediocre
Hey Afzal, I’m doing an integrated masters currently so do I apply for spring weeks in the first year or second. Great video as always afzal!
First year. Speak to your uni about this as well
Apply first year as a bachelor's student (I'm guessing nothing would stop you from just doing bachelor's if you don't want to do a full masters, so it's not technically a lie), then you have leeway that in the 2nd year you may have converted your spring from first year into a summer internship, and if you haven't you can reapply to springs in 2nd year as a master's student if you want to convert AND apply to summer internships as a bachelor's
@@farhansubhan200200 Will do, UCL is great with that sorta stuff.
@@rhyssharp9673 Thanks a lot! I was actually thinking along the same lines, or if firms were adamant about only taking me as a second year I would just try cold calling/cold emailing to other firms and get any experience at all. But huge thanks for your input!
I got my final round with BNP Paribas soon wish me luck 😀
Good luck!
@@AfzalHussein I got my offer letter ❤️🔥
Smashed it! Congrats! 💪🏽💪🏽
