I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Mizuho Financial Group
Interview
A very friendly interview process, with a kind and understanding interviewer!
However, sadly the application process in itself was quite stressful, as I had to e-mail them myself to ask whether I got the position or not after two weeks of silence. Sadly, this did not make me feel very valid.

Question 1
When and how did you approach a challenge creatively?
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Mizuho Financial Group (London, England) in Dec 2020
Interview
First round is 1 to 1 with hiring team member, very lovely and welcoming atmosphere. Just explain your cv and answer some easy behavioural questions.
Second round is a 6 hour assessment centre with 4 different objectives. One you must prepare presentation, another was technical, another behavioural round etc.. All candidates are put in rooms together to chat while you wait also, this was OK as everyone was relatively friendly.
I really enjoyed this interview and this company, I'm really disappointed I didn't get an offer. It was an undergraduate role but they hired a candidate who was a graduate and had already had 2 previous HR internships. Kind of makes you wonder why the bother inviting you for the interview in the first place.
