I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at BMO Financial Group (Toronto, ON) in Sep 2014
Interview
Applied online, then got an email for a video interview, a few days after, another email for a short phone interview, then another interview with the branch manager of the prospective branch. 3 interviews in all. The video interview is kind of nerve racking because there is no one at the other end so you are literally talking to your self, phone interview is about 5-10 minutes long.
Interview questions [3]
Question 1
Tell me about a time you demonstrated great customer service by promoting or up selling a product or service that the customer may not have otherwise considered.
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.
