I applied through university. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at BMO Financial Group in Feb 2011
Interview
got hired from a recruiting agency. helped by pointing out what the bank looked for. essentially people who like to talk on the telephone with clients and are willing to help them. need to have great multitasking abilities and also be courteous over the phone. need to have the will and drive to sell products.
Super easy, about two rounds with two people. The meetings went smoothly. In person walk ins to meet the manager helped. There isn’t much difficulty. Standard interview questions were asked as well.
