The questions which I was asked were very general regarding my career,achievements,ambitions as I have an engineering background. They asked questions regarding SBP- its functions- and why do I want to join it. How monetary policy is carried out? what are the tools utilised in it? and why do I want to join SBP? and what was the reason behind switching from engineering to a whole different field? anyone with a background other than business and finance should prepare a strong enough argument to present before a panel of six highly qualified professionals, a couple of them might be psychologists as they both asked single question each and were assessing the way I talked and my facial expressions. I tell you, don't lose your confidence and keep your face cool as cocumber with an endearing smile over it. If you have received your degree 1 or 2 years before and still are not employed anywhere then you should also prepare a reason for it too, any unsatisfactory answer in their eyes might cost you dear. Yes, you should also have a wide view of current economic outlook of the country. You should also know difference between SBP and SBP BSC and their functions.

People with Business background should be ready for questions related to auditing/accounting/finance/business. Interviewees from IBA and CBM were asked questions solely related to their fields. Besides all these you should also be ready for psychological questions and all the whys and wherefores like

what are your 5 weaknesses and 5 strengths? If you tell them you are creative you should also have an example to quote because they might ask how?

where do you see yourself in future?
your long term ambitions? etcetera

and friends this is not an authenticated news - so don't grab me from neck afterwards, if it happens to be a wrong one - I overheard the guy who was sending us into the interview room, saying that this time the seats are doubled. He said this to a fellow of him. A good news with increased opportunity for all if it is actualised.

Let me share mine experience:

My turn came after almost 4 hours of mentioned time. 8 Jan 2013.

I was taken aback by relatively less professional approach of the panel, I have been interviewed by many banks but this panel do not look as they are representing Central Bank, The supreme authority on Commercial Banks.

Most of questions were general in nature.
Why did you do this?
Why you never bought a prize bond?
What is SBP?
Banks and DFIs, their difference?
Branchless Banking?
Why do you think central bank is better than Commercial Banks?
Questions related to competitive exams?
Personal, family, educational certificates discussion.
Types of Banks? Investment and Islamic Banks?


There was humour as well, they enjoyed my stay so do I. However, i had high expectations from the panel they disappointed me by their ordinary approach of questioning? Had I been there in the Panel i would have asked in a better style. The hardly let you complete anything. Punjabib, urdu, english everything works.
The good part is that there is a good level of frankness you won't find any bossy attitude. But my interviews at Commercial Banks have been much better and above my expectations as far as professionalism is concerned.
me too
No need to prepare, just go and enjoy your time with them. Very simple questions they do ask

Thankz in anticipation
