First there was a phone interview, then a 1 on 1 meeting, and after that I met with a banking manager who asked mostly behavioral questions. There were also a bunch of online tests, covering cognitive abilities, customer service simulations, personality type, and situational examples. After that, I had to pass a credit and background check. Lots of people were applying for the same job. I got the job offer the next day. My advice is to dress to impress and bring a padfolio with an extra resume and a pen and pad.

It was pretty chill, just be yourself and answer the questions. You'll do a phone interview, then a face-to-face one. If the managers think you're a good fit, they'll offer you the job. Expect about 7-10 questions about the job or what you'd do in certain situations. It's easy if you're genuine and know what they're looking for. Choose your words carefully.

The application was straightforward and went smoothly until the end of the phone interview. They mentioned I'd hear back either way about their decision within a week. However, I never got any communication, and my attempts to follow up were ignored.
