Easy interview questions asked at Barclays, JPMorgan, RBS and Morgan Stanley

You're interviewing for a student job in a bank. Which questions will you be asked and how can you prepare? Click the links below to see the questions students said they were asked by the banks listed in the 2012-2013 application round.

These are entry-level jobs, so many of the questions seem surprisingly simple. One in particular crops up time after time: 'Where will you in five years?' - never walk into a banking interview without knowing how to respond.

Under each link, we've also added the answers students told us they gave to the questions. The responses are for your information - we're not saying they're ideal, or even necessarily correct, we're just giving you an idea of the standard of the competition.
