UBS advertises that they offer "flexible ways of working when the role permits. We offer different working arrangements like part-time, job-sharing and hybrid (office and home) working." They also advertise that their purpose drives their culture and "is at the heart of everything we do, and our culture keeps us all focused - as one team," and that it mobilizes their employees to support the future vision of their firm, as mutual stakeholders in their success. "We respect and seek to empower each individual and support the diverse cultures, perspectives, skills and experiences within our workforce. Join us. From gaining new experiences in different roles to acquiring fresh knowledge and skills, we know that great work is never done alone. We know that it's our people, with their unique backgrounds, skills, experience levels and interests, who drive our ongoing success. Together, we're more than ourselves."

Remember, the recruiter will eventually review the asynchronous interview, which may then result in an invitation for a live video interview. So, try to understand your audience before your interview, so you have a clearer understanding of who you're appealing to. UBS offers similar advice. "Learning about your interviewers can help you prepare. Use LinkedIn and Google to find out about their roles and experience so far. And, who knows, maybe you have something in common." They also suggest you "use the job advert to anticipate what you'll be asked." Lastly, even though many of these questions touch on the same subject, avoid being redundant in your answers.

"I'm looking for a collaborative team environment that is a hybrid, flexible working environment. I consider myself an ambivert and require something of a balance between working on my own and working in a team. I am also looking to work in an environment where everyone is more focused on supporting each other, concentrating on the group effort rather than being competitive and trying to advance their own goals."

Here is some additional information on UBS's approach to promoting flexible work. "Home office, or in the office? For most of our employees, both are possible. We've long supported flexible work whenever possible. As a result, around 93% of our employees are eligible to work at home several days a week. We're also rolling out a virtual worker framework in the US that will allow eligible employees to work completely remote. Options like this, along with flexible locations, flexible hours, part-time working, job-sharing and partial retirement, help us attract and retain a larger and more diverse group of employees, including early-career talent, working parents and those in continuing education. They also put increased emphasis on technology and virtual collaboration, sparking the kind of innovative thinking that makes us more agile and helps us further improve clients', and colleagues', experiences."
