I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Scotiabank (Calgary, AB) in Feb 2015
Interview
Applied online, did not hear anything for about 6-8 weeks.
Began with some personality tests and a phone interview with the recruiter. Here we discussed the regular things, the job, basic interview questions, etc. The recruited was friendly and easy to correspond with throughout the process.
There is a training centre in Calgary where they typically recruit a group of advisors at once and train them together. However, I was placed right in a branch from the beginning. Depending on timing you could expect both.
After this I had an interview in the branch where I was to be posted, and received a call later that day with the offer.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Typical stuff, describe a situation in which you worked with a difficult team member, a difficult customer, etc.
At the in-person interview it was a more casual conversation and then some situational assessments. The manager did not seem well prepared, it was as if he was reading the situations to me for the first time himself. These mostly surrounded bank security and ethical concerns.
