I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at J.P. Morgan in Nov 2009
Interview
The first step is to complete an online test before you can submit your application. After completing the test you will receive a phone call from corporate and complete a phone interview. The representive will send your information to the branch you are applying to. Next you will complete a one on one interview with the branch manager. If you accept the position you will have to go through a two week background check. Once you pass the background check you are required to complete two weeks of training. The first week is online training that is completed at the branch. The second week you will spend three days at a training center. The hotel and all travel expenses are paid or compensated. After completing the three day training you will come back to your branch and finish the last two days working at your branch while being supervised. After this your job is complete.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Have you ever slacked on procedures just to get the job done?
As it was my first experience in life for a job, I started well before time so that I may not be late. I reached there well in time. There was a big hall there and about 35 candidates were waiting for their chance.
It was super easy, and they asked very straight forward questions, and made me feel super comfortable. They asked me a few questions, they mostly wanted to know how personable I am.
Easy to track system, was well informed of the process and what to expect from the recruiter and hiring team. Clear and concise overall. I wish all processes with companies were this simple.
