you take a test, kinda SATish, very few people finish it, and it is timed. Then you go to interview, ask you 5 question, they take notes...it is over.

how the crap did I not get an interview when I was looking

11/29/2006 10:00:07 PM

they give a wonderlic?

thats strange isnt it

11/29/2006 10:11:24 PM

43 isnt bad, i'd say anything over 40 is worth mentioning

The Wonderlic, Inc claims a score of at least 10 points suggests a person is literate [4]. Furthermore, when the test was given to miscellaneous people of various professions, it was observed that the average participant scored a 24. Examples of scores from everyday professions included,

Chemist - 31
Programmer - 29
Newswriter - 26
Bank teller - 22
Security Guard - 17

yeah, you take the wonderlic...pretty standard employment measure

as for the interview, roddy describes the first interview, if you get called back you interview with your managers (usually an AVP/VP, and maybe a Director)

both IT and OPS jobs...expanding rapidly, supposedly bringing research jobs in '07

i like it, but I'm doing the OPS thing as i study for my CFA (exam Sat in Charlotte )

i could say a lot, ask questions, I'll answer (I'm lazy after studying for the last 5 hours)

11/29/2006 11:16:07 PM

the cfa, more like the cfgay

thanks for all the input, I'm interviewing for an operations analyst position which the woman said was one of their entry-level jobs. I also applied for a financial analyst position but during the telephone interview was told that I probably wouldnt qualify for it since I have no real business experience in that area.

I'm guess the initial interview is gonna be the similar to the questions that a lot of other companies ask. Was wondering how long it usually takes between the 1st and 2nd interview? I have to go talk to Pepsi in Winston tomorrow about an analyst job and kind of don't want to wait around to hear from Credit Suisse.

11/29/2006 11:32:43 PM

yeah, they call like half their ops jobs "analysts", and that covers a broad array of roles...
