At 16:30 this afternoon I shall be having an interview with a couple of chaps about a contract position at a financial institution that rhymes with 'Sharkleys'.

As ever, the [s]pimp[/s]recruitment agent is keen that I go in armed with a 'killer question'.

So, let's have your ideas...

How about: "Can I have a job please?"

EDIT: seriously though, good luck!

Unfortunatley, the answer would be:

"We think he's a *****"

So, is it right that even if I'm **** at the job, I'll still get paid, or is that just the investment arm of the company?

Have you found a way yet to manipulate the Libor rate without attracting the attention of the regulator?

Why did you decide to stop sponsoring the Boris Bikes?

No one ever saw me, nor ever will
And yet I am the confidence of all
To live and breathe on this terrestrial ball.

Jokes apart:

Did you read the Taylor article this week on their IT? In the FT. You might find a Q in that
You could ask about ring-fencing - reaction to what happened over past week or so, impact on Sharkcap (but don't use that word anymore) etc
Impact of branch closure program - a bit inane but shows you follow the news
Are the 4q provisions (£330m for legal and regulatory issues) the bottom?

Here's a good one:

"I understand that all your contractors have to undergo a thorough background check before they can be allowed onsite?

Can you make sure that the third party you use to do these checks completes it before my start date, so that I don't sit at home for two weeks with the associated loss of income?"

When you're mis-selling pointless "insurance" policies and tricking small business owners into investing in financial products that will bankrupt them do you start laughing out loud, or have you learnt to control it by now?

How is job security looking at present considering you're looking to replace all of your front line staff with machines?

Not in a Terminator kind of way.

My missus works for them and they are an utter shambles. Still waiting for her payrise to be processed from the promotion she had in August.
