I applied through college or university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at UBS
Interview
Had a direct interview with the financial advisor. She made the position clear. I was a little disappointed that the financial advisor was looking for a somewhat marketing intern. She pretty much asked me behavioral questions.
Made cold calls, no finance background needed. Was given a spreadsheet of numbers for a huge firm and dialed up and down. Had no success initially but they just wanted to see if I was comfortable on the phone.
Got a phone call from them later in the day for an offer and sat on it for 2 days before I countered via email. Very open and understanding.
