Need Answers To Some Interview Questions

WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO FOR US?
-please what can you do for them. If I give you answers, that will be for me and may not suit you.

WHAT IS A MECHNICAL ENGINEER COMING TO DO IN A BANK?
-Mechanical engineers are responsible for things that have to do with motion. When machines are not moving, a mechanical engineer is the solution. When machines are moving, a mechanical engineer is responsible for keeping it in motion.
I'm choosing to look at your bank as a machine in motion. As a mechanical engineer, I can contribute my quota to the smooth running of the bank and you can be rest assured that indicates my unwavering and unflinching interests in keeping organisations running smoothly.

WON'T YOU BE BETTER IN ANOTHER FIRM?
-Yes I could be better in another firm, there's no doubt about that but I believe that your bank is also a good company and it wouldn't be a bad idea starting my career from here.

WELL MATURED26 I AM IMPRESSED YOU'RE HIRED

The answers to most interview questions are in the job descriptions/details and requirements.

-What are u going to do for us?
What you are going to do for them is what they have advertised that want the candidate for. Look into the job descriptions and frame your answer round what you have there.


-What is a mechanical engineer coming to do in  a bank/where does a mechanical engineer fit in in the staff structure of a bank?

For this, their requirements are what will lead you to a convincing answer. What do they require of the ideal candidate? Try to relate it to mechanical engineering and then bring in personality trait like - love working with numbers, honesty and integrity, customer focus, patience, accounatbility, detail oriented, organised, meticulous etc - the requirements will most likely have all the ones they are looking for. You may also mention any hobby that is banking related. Most importantly is to radiate confidence and let then see that can-do atitude in you.


-Won't you be better  off in another firm?

This is where you have to blow their trumpet. Tell then something nice about the bank. How would you know what to say? Research . . .  use an insider, their web site, etc etc If you can just get an info about the bank that makes them stand out from other banks that will really make a good impact as employers likes candidates that can demonstrate interest in their organization.

Best of luck

when prospective employers ask that question: what can u do 4 us.?

they want u to tell them in very precise language what u can or will do for them. e.g if u r employed  within d marketing function u shuld be able to tell them that within so so period u will bring in so so amount of money in deposits, and if u've got previous work experience u shuld flaunt ur past achievements at them, these are what impresses employers.

Question 1 is asking about YOU, they could have said  "Tell me a little about yourself." or Why are you looking to change jobs?, Why are you here?
Tell them briefly about your self especially as it relates their requirements.

Question 2 is asking about YOU and the COMPANY. What do you think we can do with this "marriage"? Will you go the extra mile for us? The responses about mechanical engineer and motion, numbers and analytical skills are good inputs for your answer. Present yourslef as a problem solver and not a job seeker.

Question 3 is all about them. that is your chance to flatter them. Here is where you show them that you've done your research and not only know something about their company but you have several reasons for being enthusiastic about working for them. Do your homework. Always research the company before you interview. Know who they are, what they do, what their major products and services are, who their competitors are, what the current "buzz" might be about them.

All the best.

COVER LETTER
A cover letter or covering letter is a letter of introduction attached to, or accompanying another document such as a résumé or curriculum vitae. A successful cover letter results in the résumé being considered, rather than discarded. It also sometimes accompanies a scientific article.


Purpose
A cover letter is the job seeker's introduction to the employer or recruiter. It can also be a marketing device. It highlights a few specific points in the job seeker's experience and skills that match or exceed the requirements of the job. It should be written to address the employer or recruiter's concerns. For example, "My experience in (whatever is needed) can help you with (whatever is needed)," would be preferable to "Your job interests me." Additionally, the requirement of a cover letter for employment purposes can also be used to weed out potential candidates who lack the necessary interest in the position. Many individuals, who are not entirely interested in the specific position, are likely to balk at the idea of drafting an individualized cover letter, thus leaving the employer with a pool of only the most interested candidates.


Format
The format of a cover letter varies depending on whether or not it is being emailed or sent as a hard-copy to the recipient. The primary difference is that the hard-copy begins with the sender's name and contact information, while the emailed version places the name and contact information at the end of the letter in place of a handwritten signature.

The cover letter should be at most one page, and consist of three primary paragraphs, the introduction, the body, and the closing. First (or second, if it's a hard-copy), the date that the letter was written or sent is aligned to the left of the cover letter. Next, the recipient's contact information appears, followed by a personal greeting to the recipient ("Dear Mrs. Cunningham," or the like).

I think this answers your question. Next time try and make it a topic in the forum

ok, you are new and posting for the first time, you do well. Welcome dear. cheers!

my brother that is Nigeria for you o. nowadays engr graduate think of banks form day one. they don't even remember they are engineering firm. 
but man must work you know.

AdeCisco says beware of giving interviewers the impression that you are mobile and will soon leave their bank. No employer in the world will give their full time employment to a  part time employee. So followers of mature26, please beware. 1.What are you going to do for us? Can you do what you don't know about? Find out which position you are most likely to fill. Three qualities are most demanding in the banking sector. (i) Team spirit (ii) Leadership skills (iii) Knowledge base and experience. Be sure of the position first, then manipulate your way in intelligently.

2. What is a mechanical Engineer coming to do in a bank? Ever since i graduated from the university, i've always dreamt of working in a bank. Engineering money for the bank. Whether an engineer works in a bank or in his field his primary purpose is to improve the efficiency of whatever system he finds himself bearing in mind that growth occurs when output is greater than input. O/I * 100.

3. Won't you be better off in another firm? I won't be better off in another firm, I want to be here and the pay is sufficient for me to do my job.

Give your employer the impression that you want to keep the job if you're finally given the chance.

here are some interview success tips.

Enjoy and best of luck

@olufidu and adecisco
great advice, can't add anything to that. very professional answers

@nosa
I disagree with u a billion times, i know tons on engineering grads who are bank executives. top investment banks in london and Newyork have more engr grad than other discipline.

An engr degree not only gives you very good exposure to numeracy, it gives you a logical and problem solving mind, you can excel at whatever you decide to do, there have been medical sch grads becoming successful accountant.

Education should broaden your horizon and should not limit it

Good luck akaba. which bank is this?
