I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Barclays (Singapore) in Sep 2009
Interview
I was interviewed as a contractor into the firm by 4 groups of people within Global Operations. They are from different operation groups like equities settlements, fixed income settlements, corporate actions etc. It was back to back 4 sessions, they understood that I was fresh from school hence the questions they asked are relatively straight-forward.
I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Barclays (Hong Kong) in Jul 2011

I got 3 rounds of interviews, first with the hiring manager, then the Vice President and Director of the team.
They focused on my previous experience and also asked some technical questions. So, get prepared for it!
