Having a previous interest in videography meant I took on the role of Project Manager. Working as a team to shoot and edit a video that showcased banking, and in particular HSBC, to Generation Z. As a team, we had to research the topic, write a report and give a presentation to HSBC’s head of AI.Ģ. Examining how AI can be used to streamline banking. But instead to learn as much as possible about the different functional areas within commercial banking by growing our professional networks. It was made clear that the general theme of the internship wasn’t to complete as much work as possible, or to make the most coffee. Passing all three stages meant I was accepted onto the programme in Bristol. As students we’re used to spending endless nights in the library preparing for an exam and, in my view, you shouldn’t treat preparing for an assessment centre any differently. My two pieces of advice for any assessment centre is to a) be yourself and b) go prepared. The third and final stage was the assessment centre and was the opportunity for HSBC to see who I am and how I interacted with others. However, with a bit of practice it became more natural and less awkward. My previous experience with video interviews wasn’t positive and resulted in me feeling unnatural and awkward in front of the camera. The second stage was a job simulation in the form of a video interview. The first stage, an online psychometric test involving a series of realistic, work place scenarios followed by questions. The application process for the HSBC Global Commercial Banking Internship Programme comprised of three stages: online tests video interview and assessment centre. I started by researching career paths available and narrowed these down to specific programmes and companies, HSBC being a clear highlight on that list. I wanted to get a flavour of the jobs available to chemists – one that doesn’t involve lab coats and safety goggles. My search for an internship wasn’t about finding the perfect internship, as I didn’t know what this would be. My time as an HSBC Intern started as I expect it does for many, concerned about possibility of not having a job to go to after graduation. Joe Baldwin, a Chemistry student at Bristol, shares his experience as a Commercial Banking Summer Intern at HSBC.
