The first question. Tell me about yourself? Now, this will be the first Deutsche Bank
interview question you need to answer. It is important you give a response that is positive
and that focuses on the following three areas. Number one, the QUALITIES you have that will
add value to this brilliant organization. Number two, WHAT YOU WILL DO when you start
in the role. And number three, how you are determined to CONTINUALLY IMPROVE and develop
once you are in the role. So, here is my suggested answer to the first Deutsche Bank interview
question: Tell me about yourself? “I am a creative and innovative person who is always
looking to improve and develop in my work. Being passionate about working as part of
a large team, I want to work for an organization where my skills will be fully utilized, and
I will have the support to do my work to a high standard. I am a natural problem solver;
I embrace change positively and I am constantly curious about the banking sector and the opportunities
that are on the horizon. I have studied the job description for this role carefully, and
I am totally confident I can not only hit the ground running in the position, but I
can make a long-lasting, positive contribution to the team I am part of here at Deutsche
Bank. If you hire me, I will work hard, I will integrate your six values into my daily
work, and I will be committed to achieving your commercial and financial objectives.”
That's a very strong, positive answer. You know that interview question is coming up.
So, it's important to prepare a great response to it. I also like the answer because you
are mentioning there the SIX CORE VALUES and we will touch on those more as we answer more
Deutsche Bank interview questions. Now, you can either pause the video if you want to
and take note of the questions and answers as we progress together. Or if you want to
wait, I'll soon tell you can download my full set of Deutsche Bank interview questions and
brilliant answers, including the ones we are working through together today. Here's a next
question. Why do you want to work for Deutsche Bank? So, this common Deutsche Bank interview
question will appear relatively early on during your interview. My advice is to demonstrate
in your answer, you have researched the organization and you are fully aware of their six core
values. Show the interviewer you plan staying at Deutsche Bank for the long term. My advice,
in your answer to this question, why do you want to work for Deutsche Bank, is to talk
more about the values and here's how to do it. “I want to work for Deutsche Bank for
four reasons. The first reason is you have a formidable reputation as being an innovative,
forward-thinking organization that wants to stay at the top of your sector. This means
I will be pushed and challenged in my role - something that is appealing to me. The second
reason is your culture. The six core values are the bedrock of your success and like other
impressive, fast-moving innovative organizations, if all employees work towards the values,
success will inevitably follow. The third reason is I am looking for somewhere I can
build a long and successful career with the same organization. Because of your track record
of success, I know I will always be moving forward and growing in the role. Finally,
I want to work alongside other, like-minded professionals who are all working together
to provide outstanding client service. Those are the four reasons Deutsche Bank is the
only organization I want to work for.” Now, I love that response because you are not just
giving one reason why you want to work for Deutsche Bank. You are giving four reasons…
four valid and genuine reasons for wanting to work for this brilliant organization. And
they are a fantastic organization to work for. Now, don't go anywhere because I still
have more questions and answers to work through with you. But when you're ready, if you want

and top-scoring answers, including the ones we are working through together today! But
here’s the next question: What are Deutsche Bank's values and tell me a time you demonstrated
one of them at work? This is a difficult Deutsche Bank interview question to answer, but I believe
it's important that you learn their values in the build-up to the interview. Here's a
strong answer to assist you in your preparation. “The six core values that help create the
Deutsche Bank company culture are integrity, sustainable performance, client centricity,
innovation, discipline and partnership. In a previous role I always focused on delivering
outstanding service to our clients, which I believe demonstrates client centricity.
For example, I was responsible for several clients in my latest role and whilst dealing
with all of them I provided a fair and consistent service, I got to really know my clients by
spending time with them and assessing their needs, and I always involved them in the decision-making
process. This helped to build trust, something which is crucial to long-term, sustainable
relationships. Finally, if a client needed advice or guidance, I would respond quickly
and provide knowledge and expertise that was based on their own unique and individual needs.”
I'm sure you'll agree. That's another great answer. It's comprehensive. You show that
you understand those six values and you are explaining a time when you demonstrated one
of them in a previous role. The next question: Explain to me how you balance priorities when
you have multiple projects on the go? Deutsche Bank are a fast moving, client-centric organization.
And on that basis, I believe it's important you can handle your workload positively and
deliver on time and most importantly, to the necessary standard. Here's a great answer
to this common Deutsche Bank interview question: Explain to me how you balance priorities when
you have multiple projects on the go? Here we go. “I always follow seven rules when
prioritizing projects and my workload in general. Rule number one, I create a list of projects
and tasks on my computer that is backed up on a cloud server. I regularly update and
amend this list. Rule number two, I identify which tasks are urgent, and which tasks are
important. Urgent tasks will always get my attention first. Rule number three, I will
assess the value to the organization of each project or the task and consider feedback
or advice from my manager. Rule number four, I look ahead and foresee any potential problems
or issues that might be on the horizon. This helps me to plan ahead. Rule number five,
I am always prepared to be flexible and adaptable so I can switch projects and tasks quickly,
depending on priority level. Rule number six, I work additional hours regularly to ensure
tasks are completed. 9-5 doesn’t work when you have a large workload and you must be
prepared to put in the extra effort. Missing deadlines is not an option. Finally, rule
number seven, I maintain exceptional planning and organizational skills and I manage projects
and tasks utilizing the project planning template Monday.com.” I like that answer because
you are telling them about seven rules that you'll follow or seven areas that you consider
when managing multiple tasks or balancing priorities. It's a great answer! It shows
you are fully prepared. The next question: Tell me about a time you experienced conflict
at work and how you resolved it? Now, being able to respond positively to any form of
conflict is a necessity when working for a responsible and client-centric organization
such as Deutsche Bank. My advice is to use the STAR technique to structure your response.
The STAR technique is essentially situation, task, action result. Here's a sample answer
that uses star technique to help you. “I was working on a project in a previous role
and during the initial project brief two of us within the team had strong, creative ideas
we both felt should be used to complete the project successfully. We were both competitive
and passionate about our work, so a compromise needed to be reached. However, my colleague
felt his idea should be used exclusively and there was clearly the potential for conflict
to develop. I felt it was my responsibility to discuss a compromise whereby both our ideas
had the opportunity to be a part of the project structure. By reaching a compromise, neither
of us would feel demotivated. I started off by highlighting some components of my work
colleague's idea that I felt were helpful for the project, before highlighting some
of my own. I explained to him that I felt there was scope for both our ideas to be utilized
collaboratively. Initially, he seemed averse to the idea, but after I explained to him
that we both had a duty to make sure the project outcome was the best it possibly could be,
he eventually started to see the benefit of my proposed compromise. After we agreed to
utilize certain elements of both our ideas, we set to work on completing the project and
through harmonious and effective teamwork, we managed to deliver a brilliant outcome,
to a high specification and within the allocated timeframe.” That’s a smart response, because
you are showing you are the one that's identifying there is potential for conflict and you are
reaching a compromise where both people are satisfied. And that's important. The next
