First Home Mortgage interview questions

A friend who works in the industry referred me to First Home. Overall, I had 4 in-person interviews and a phone interview over the course of 2 months. About 2 weeks before I graduated, I started off by meeting with a loan officer who also took me in to meet the branch manager. It was very general and casual, they went over the different jobs in the industry and gave me an overview of what it takes to make it in each position. Then, I was referred to another branch that is opening a new office. I met with both branch managers in this office on separate occasions. These interviews were also casual, laid-back, general personality and work ethic questions, nothing too serious. As they both liked me, they gave my information to one of the recruiters in the corporate office and I had a phone interview with her that was about 20 minutes, more general questions. Following this I met with the president of the company, Steve Lagana, in the corporate office. This interview was a bit more formal with some tougher questions about the industry, my personality, and again, work ethic. You really have to be motivated to work to make it in this industry, so it helps to know that going in. I followed up with the corporate recruiter and branch manager after my interview with the president, and got an offer about 2 weeks later.

The process took 2.5 weeks. I applied online through my universities job board. First I had a phone interview with an HR rep at corporate. Pretty standard phone interview questions about my resume and future goals. The next steps were to find a local office with an opening. At the local office, I met with a loan officer and the branch manager. To be honest, they both definitely talked more than they made me talk. However, each branch at this company operates basically independently so I'm sure the interviews vary widely.
