Genk Capital interview questions

Dear Junior Trader Interviewee, Thank you for your honest review of your experience with us as an interviewee. We would like to take this opportunity to address your concerns and to correct any possible misunderstanding. Our company employs a casual dress code. Our interview panel, comprising of our director, a desk head and a senior trader, hold direct interviews to eliminate the risk of incorrect exclusion. Our interviews test on three core aspects: (1) Formal Background and Education, (2) Personal Psychology, and (3) Characteristic Attributes. Having our interviewers behave in a non-uniform manner to observe a candidates’ behavioural responses allows us to obtain a truer picture of a candidate, gauging natural preferences and aversions, and psychological biases. If you felt disrespected, we sincerely apologise that the rigour of our interview was unfavourable to you. We would also like to state that for our 2018 interviews, we have yet to receive any offer declinations, and deeply apologise if you were given the impression of having received an offer, which we only formally do so through a second or third interview in person. Wishing you all the best in your future endeavours and thank you for your kind attention and consideration. Yours sincerely, Genk Capital

Dear Junior Trader Interviewee, Thank you for your honest review of your experience with us as an interviewee. We would like to take this opportunity to address your concerns and to correct any possible misunderstanding. We hold direct interviews instead of interviews with Human Resources as our interview panel comprising of our director, a desk head and a senior trader, is more knowledgeable in the requirements for the position. This also eliminates the risk of incorrect exclusion. Having our interviewers behave in a non-uniform manner to observe a candidates’ behavioural responses allows us to obtain a truer picture of a candidate, gauging natural preferences and aversions, and psychological biases. If you felt disrespected, we sincerely apologise that the rigour of our interview was unfavourable to you. It is unfortunate that we left the impression that we are a firm not keen on learning. Continuous learning is integral to our company’s beliefs. Our traders are often in teams discussing new trading ideas and strategies and we frown upon being complacent with personal growth. Perhaps some laughter during your interview session with us left an unintended impression and we hope you might accept that any laughter on our part was intended light-heartedly. If you are confident that it was ill-intended, please inform us with the key information so that we might launch an internal investigation. It is indeed true that we have an informal interview process as our company culture is comparably non-corporate, with a casual dress code and a flat hierarchy. Thank you for taking note of this. On a side note, our Human Resources personnel have been with us for a minimum of 3 years each, and would like to thank you for your personal concern and assure you that they are doing well. We would also like to state that for our 2018 interviews, we have yet to receive any offer declinations, and deeply apologise if you were given the impression of having received an offer, which we only formally do so through a second or third interview in person. We hope that we have addressed your concerns and if we have overlooked something, please kindly inform us. Wishing you all the best in your future endeavours and thank you for your kind attention and consideration. Yours sincerely, Genk Capital
