Job interview at a Forex Broker company! Need help/advice :D

I’ll let you guys know how I get on, thanks for the feedback I do honestly appreciate it. Oooooh I hope it goes well!

Interview? Wow it’s been a long time I have not done that… How exciting!

I’ve done cold callings a long time ago and let me tell you that if you have the personality and know how to accept " rejections" for every calls you’ve made, you will be fine… Just don’t take it personally. Cold calling is not really the best way to go to do “selling” in my opinion but for now, you have to start somewhere.
In your interview, be confident and be yourself… Don’t pretend a somebody that you are not. Show them what skills you have that you can help the organization. You have to gain their trust on you that you are reliable and dependable… It’s all about if they like you and trust you…

… And don’t forget to " suit up!"

Look sharp and compliment the interviewer. and make at least one joke. Shoe-in.

I forgot to mention to have fun with it. This is one of those experiences that you will look back in time either you did well or not… In the end, atleast you did your best.

Goodluck!

Maybe something like this?

Neh… not that one…

Like this one…


You gatta look sharp… you only get one shot :wink: and you never know who will interview you :slight_smile:

Food for thought:

BBC News - Are work suits on the way out?

Right, however first impression counts :wink:

The message here is that you should try to mirror the image of the company you are going to work with:

Why do men have to wear suits to work? | UK Business Forums

If they wear suits, then you should probably wear one too…

But the rest of PipNRoll’s advice is absolutely spot on: they want a reliable person and

who is willing to listen, and train.

Also, prepare some questions to ask at the end, should you get the opportunity.

Good luck!

I wear dresses and skirt to my work :wink: have you heard about dress for success? :slight_smile:

Yes you have to dress up base on where you work. In a corporate offices, you have to be at-least presentable…

In addition to previous tips, do this. Write down in as much detail as you can about why they should give you the job. Then look at what they’re asking for and compare it to your answer. If you are honest with your answer, and understand why and what the company is looking for, you make their decision to pick you much easier. Remember the customer is always right. The employer is probably not looking for reasons why they shouldn’t hire you, they looking for reasons why they should hire you; so list the reasons why.
Good Luck

Good Luck

Hello ezi.

Hey ezi… Are you still there?

Right!

:stuck_out_tongue:

Cold calling, that is hard, you basically have to become a salesman before calling yourself a real broker.

I actually worked for a broker not so long ago and the main thing they were interested in is your forex contacts. If you stress them that you have multiple social profiles a lot of forex related contacts you are half way there.

Obviuosly you need to know about FX trading in general, but don’t have to be a pro. It is not hard to get this job since it is not for everyone and people don’t work there for long.
