Received a request to schedule a phone interview after submitting my application online. We scheduled it for the following week. Spoke to a very nice person from HR for about 15 minutes. It turned out the job wasn't really what I was looking for and we decided it was best not to proceed.
I applied through college or university. I interviewed at J.P. Morgan
Interview
I was interviewed on campus with 300 other students. The first interview was with a Senior Manager who asked routine questions about my resume. She was kind and asked personality and behavioral questions. How did I manage conflict within a team. What challenges have I faced in school and how did I overcome them. There was also a problem question which I happened to have read the night before on this site. Who is the CFO? Why do I want to work with the firm? I was very nervous as it was my first corporateinterview, but it went better than expected. I sent a thank you letter to which she responded kindly.
The second interview was about a two weeks later.with another Senior Manager and was perhaps my best interview to that date. He and I talked more about my resume and more behavioral questions. He asked questions like how did I manage to work three jobs and have such a good GPA? Time management and prayer. He asked about my study habits and it turned out he had a kid in college. So I explained how I used the library and didn't purchase textbooks. I gave him a tip on how to save money on textbooks by renting. He took down the site and thanked me enthusiastically. Our interview was like a casual conversation with a random stranger. Very comfortable but professional. I sent him a thank you letter also reminding him about the tip and where to go. I got the job a week later.
The whole process took about two weeks.
