I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Scotiabank (Toronto, ON) in Oct 2013
Interview
The interview process was very relaxed and unstructured. Met with two members of senior management for a small team. It was the standard discussion of my experience with a few questions about financial instruments. We met in a boardroom for approximately 40 minutes. I get the sense that my qualifications were sufficient for the role, and that management wanted to see how I would react in person.
