I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at HSBC (Hongkong) in May 2011
Interview
The manager asked me to describe myself and some of my projects on cv and later asked some cliche questions like what is your strong point and weak point. But when I thought this was over, his next question totally knocked me off. Luckily, when he asked me do I have any questions for him, my altitude as a hungry leaner really touched him and helped me land on the offer that very afternoon.
