Thanks.

I prepared for the test from https://www.dogar.com.pk/book/bank-officers-guide/ . Before buying make sure it is printed properly. The first copy I bought had pages stuck together and like 10-15 pages blank.

Did they say anything about when this hiring process will be completed and when will call letters be issued?

I tried to talk about this to the document collectors on the way out but they were noncommittal - saying maybe late March.

How was your interview? What is your background?

> What is credit risk?
> What is the difference between a crossed check and a bearer check?
> What is the validity of a check?
> What is the difference between a prize bond and a currency note? Can prize bond be used as an instrument of exchange?
> What are terms of trade?
> What are the roles of BSC apart from monetary policy?
> What is SDR?
< What is IMF and its role?

Was max 7 mins or so and went okayish. What stood out to me was that the psychologist didn't ask me any questions. Don't know if it is a good or bad thing.

Did you answer all of them?

I have engineering background and interview went well overall. Questions were like Why did you leave your job? Where did you apply? Functions of BSC? Budget? Problems of budget? Relocation issue? 9 minutes in total.

Nope. Didn't know a lot about checks, neither did I know what SDR or terms of trade were. The rest I answered to the best of my abilities.

They didn't ask me the relocation question, which might just be a big giveaway.

You answered all questions correctly? Also, I believe, being asked about the relocation issue is a really positive sign. May I know what type of engineering did you do? Why didn't they ask from you regarding the discrepancy in choosing a banking career with an engineering degree? This is the first thing they asked me - right after confirming the pronunciation of my name.

I skipped one or two cross questions. The relocation question is not the only criteria. This question or lack of it does not mean much.They asked me the engineering question in a different way, i-e would you be satisfied if you leave your field?

Hi
Is it a good idea to mention your freelance experience, which is mostly academic writing i.e. making assignments for foreign students? in a job interview?

If it is related to job or you have to answer 'what have you been doing while being unemployed?' then yes, you can mention it. Otherwise you can avoid it.
