The hiring manager was really nice and helped me get ready for the interview with the Sr. Credit Analyst. They asked about my background and what I've done that would be helpful for the job. After that, I interviewed with the Sr. Credit analyst, and then I met with the whole team, which was 6 people in total.

I applied since I already worked there and got a call about a week later saying it was being sent to the branch. I waited another week for the interview date. When I got there, three managers interviewed me. They asked me a bunch of questions about how I work, what I want from this job, and how I get along with coworkers. They told me about their branch and asked if I had any questions. I didn't get the job because they said my ambitions were to be a new accounts rep and they'd rather have me as that than a CSR.

Since I was already working here, it was really easy. A recruiter reached out quickly, and the whole thing wrapped up in about two weeks. The hardest part was getting released from my current role.
