I applied through other source. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Scotiabank (Calgary, AB) in Jul 2013
Interview
Interview was very professional, I was very nervous but had met the interviewer before and once I was done felt more at ease with the process- I ultimately got the job but would have been less stressful if I had the tools which are available today - such as glass door
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 6 months. I interviewed at Scotiabank (Toronto, ON) in Oct 2011
Interview
Took 6 months! Three interviews in total. They were no where near ready to hire at first interview, and the timeline they gave was not realistic. Do to inability to accept another offer outside of city, I was available when they finally called back and made offer.
They ask basic questions, such as why do you want to work for the company, and why do you think you are a perfect fit for the position. I recommend reading through the job description, because they will most likely do a phone interview and ask questions about the tasks and responsibilities.
