I sent of my application for the January 25th trainee trader intake and then received an invite for 2 online shl tests: numerical and inductive reasoning. Completed both.

Please could someone confirm if the next round will be the trading game and tests (which kind?) in their offices?

Thanks in advance.

Too late ychu066, I applied 6th December. They take 2-3 weeks to get back to you, and as the position begins on 25th January + the xmas holidays, you won't be hearing till 4th Jan by when many of us will have done our online tests and invitations for interviews will be sent out.

I would also like to know what happens if I pass through the two tests?
Is there a trading game and an interview?
What would they be like? Would both hold on the same day?

Thank you very much in advance for any comment.

ychu066,

I do not see why it matters to you, to where and for which position I have applied.

Good luck with your application.

My exam was pretty bad... the shl site was stuck and went down for almost 5mins saying it cannot connect to dbase due to overload but the exam I think was paused till i logged back in .. but i was thnking that the time might have been going on and panicked with my last half of questions.. so dunno how mine went at the end.. exam was pretty easy.. I just hope it was enough to scrape through ..

Obviously, sulkar applied to London, for its the only one mentioned that the position begins on 25th January (the intake for Jan is now closed)

Hi,

I haven't heard back from the SHL tests for the positions starting on Jan 25th. I think I haven't go through...2 weeks to do the next 2 stages is too far fetched for me. Did you hear anything?

Sulkar.

it's also interest-proof for me. and they don't earn all that much. and of course no two months training in Amsterdam

right now i'm worried that the law experience dont look good

I found a pretty decent profile on liquid capital that could be used in an interview to show company knowledge: http://student2trader.com/traders_corner/company_profiles/liquid_capital

they've also got interview tips I found pretty useful
http://student2trader.com/howtobecomeatrader/interview

Can anyone provide specific detail on the types of questions liquid have been asking? I.e. is it integer sequences or diagramattical patterns etc?

Interesting site Grenade... I read the bios of the guys who put it together and neither of them are professional traders? Not sure they should be giving advice about getting a job in trading if they haven't been through the process themselves and come out of the otherside... But anyways trader interview are always interesting.

I would definitely agree that anyone not in the profession claiming to know how to become one needs caution.
