As Union Bank of India was the first bank to publish its
vacancies for PO recruitment after the IBPS exam back in December 2011, it
announced its interview schedule quite early in January. After that, the
aspirants who got to select for interview shared their experiences with us.
Most of them had a pretty good smile in their faces. Let us go into detail
about their experiences.
Some of them were asked HR questions, testing their IQ and
pressure handling situation. HR questions are normally tricky and confusing,
but dealing with them boldy and wisely does the job quite well. The fact is,
the panel which took their interviews were more or less of the opinion to
understand the pressure handling power of the interviewees.
Interview was taken at the bank selected places and the
environment was competitive, yet relaxing for the aspirants. Some of them when
asked about the interview experience answered that they were asked about their
family background, achievements in school, colleges and topics like this. Also
questions were on how the education you gathered upto now can be implemented in
the field of banking sector. This question was asked pretty much to many
candidates.

And questions were also there on banking sector like what is
liquidity, CRR, forex and business, euro-zone debt crisis, SB, RRB, RBI and
bank relations and all. Some of the aspirants were reported to be asked about
recent recession, world issues regarding US and euro zone crisis. So, it is
pretty clear that beside banking knowledge, current issues should be kept in
mind.
Also, as expected many were asked the common question, “If
you have done this and this, why not move on with it in your career, why you
want to become a PO?” And,” what is making you to come to banking sector after you
did Engineering/Computers?” Also some questions related to role of PO in the
banking sector were also asked. We also noticed that the panel asked questions
according to the educational background of the candidate.
So, to mark words in short, interview was good for most of
the aspirants and the shortlistings will be on a much close point to point
basis. Also it will keep the other IBPS passed out candidates motivated on how
to prepare for other upcoming interviews. Be prepared for any question, and
answer frankly and honestly. That’s the key to success. Stay tuned and stay
updated.
