"The BEM was the perfect start for me, as I feel that I can develop both professionally and personally. Currently, I support our customers in realizing their dream of owning a home and advise them virtually from the first viewing to the notary appointment. It brings me great joy to accompany our customers during this important phase of their lives and I appreciate the gratitude and emotions that come with it."

How do you prepare for the interview? Start by researching the program, and UBS in general. Be sure to take notes and write down any questions you have. We’re more than happy to answer them.
Think about what you want to share about yourself and what kinds of questions we might ask. Why UBS, what are your strengths, what do you want to work on, etc. Even how others might describe you. No need to overthink it. As long as you’re prepared, we should have a great conversation.
Some tips from us
Greeting your interview partner by name and making eye contact is a great way to make a good first impression. Keep in mind that there are no right or wrong answers. Just be yourself. And don’t forget to ask questions. It lets us know that you’re curious and interested.
