I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Citizens (Columbus, OH) in Oct 2009
Interview
Initially interviewed over the phone with an HR recruiter, lasted about 30 minutes, standard questions.
Interviewed next with the Regional Manager in person. The interview lasted a little over an hour and consisted primarily of behavioral questions. The Manager was very honest with the pros and the cons and at 1 point I thought he was talking me out of the job. The final interview was on the phone with a different Regional Manager, it was very short and I got the impression it was merely formality.

Question 1
All questions were standard "Tell me about a time..." questions. Nothing surprising or out of the ordinary.

Interview
I scheduled a virtual interview with a recruiter. However, she states that they're restrictedly ONLY hiring exactly from the job description says 3-5 retail management experience with the Branch Manager title, but she didn't want to waste my time, so she decided to offer me a banker position. I first appreciated her time, at the same time I also explained my experiences and achievement has definitely a matched for the job description, and I already been a banker for 5 years, and now 3 years + as Assistant Branch Manager as second to go person, I basically doing the same as BM, and assisted the branch archived goals exceeded the regional standard, I don't think it make sense to backward to become a banker and start everything over. The whole interview was great conversation and smooth, just because the title made me can't move forward, I think it's a bit unfair by turned down like this.
