JP Morgan, credit risk (graduate)

Question:

Would you rather be respected or respectful?

Answer:

I would rather be respected-respect is something you earn, but respectful is something you should be at all times.

Question:

Describe a risky situation you've been in

Answer:

I spoke about my coursework -I had a problem with a tutor and asked that I could switch to another one. This could have been taken very badly and resulted in him making it impossible for me to have obtained my degree. I took a huge risk in suggesting this but

thankfully all parties agreed it was the right decision.

Question:

Tell us something you read about recently in the financial press that was of interest to you.

Answer:

I spoke about the EU directive on hedge funds. I was asked if this was of interest because I myself invested in hedge funds to which I answered that it was more of an interest to the economy of the UK, as the majority of hedge funds are based here and it would have a huge

impact on the country if the directive was approved.
