I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Barclays (Paris) in Feb 2008
Interview
Premier contact au téléphone avec une agence de recrutement pour une offre d'emploi qu'ils essayaient de remplir dans mon domaine de spécialité, puis organisation d'une réunion en tête-à-tête avec le consultant en charge de l'offre. Discussion intéressante sur le marché, les différents acteurs et mes aspirations pour les années à venir. Nous avons convenu que je n'étais pas intéressé pour le poste, mais que nous resterions en contact.
