Barclays telephone interview

Hello I have the Barclays telephone interview tomorrow . Ive been told Im going to answer 4 out of 5 maths questions correctly. Has anyone else done the same interview and what kind of maths questions do they ask ? Thanks

  • Unfortunately, I've never managed to reach that far with Barclays, but an educated guess (well, a little educated on my part) would say that these will mostly be general arithmetic, perhaps with a banking theme. What role did you apply for? I'm afraid I can't be much help other than that.

    Oh, and good luck! Don't forget to relax, listen to the questions and try not to rush to an answer: I would hope that Barclays are wanting a balance between speed and accuracy.

    The maths questions are basic addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division of two or more numbers. Nothing hard. If you pass GCSE Maths, you will be fine.

    Other than the maths questions, they ask you about what you've been doing, going over your CV, and work experience/career history.
  • GREAT NEWS on your interview - do it justice, be relaxed, and take some time to chill before hand. You'll do fine. Just don't be intimidated - why not have a calculator to hand, just in case? :) GOOD LUCK!!!

    Oh yeah, you could use a calculator for the Maths questions.

    Good luck.
