Hi all,
I am a new user on trade to win and let's hope I'll be using the service for a while yet! lol.
Anyway, to crux of this thread...
I am a graduate from an arts and humanities background with very little exposure to financial markets in general, hence my knowledge of trading would be classed as minimal to non existent.
However, having a read a job spec for a particular trading position and subsequently receiving a invitation for a numeracy test, my interest in trading has become more prominent.
There are so many questions I want to ask but here are the main ones:
1. If I'm applying for an entry level position i.e. junior/trainee trader, what knowledge of financial markets is expected of me?
2. What is to be expected on the numeracy test I am about to sit?
3. What are the general working hours for junior traders?
4. What sort of salary (if any) should I expect if I work as trainee trader?
5. Will potential employers frown upon the fact that I have a degree in humanities and arts as supposed to the archetypal graduate who has a degree in a numerical subject?
I am really nervous but also very excited about working in such a profession hence I kindly ask your advice for information on what to expect, and generally how not to make a complete fool of myself if invited for an interview!
