I applied through other source. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Wells Fargo in May 2010
Interview
I was laid-off for strategic business reasons due to the Wells Fargo and Wachovia merger. Wells Fargo considers laid-off employees for internal open positions for a certain grace period of time. You still have to go through the interviewing process as a qualifying candidate: Recruiter phone interview, 1-on-1 interview with hiring manager and if you are a good fit with the hiring manager, you are offered the job. Other qualifying candidates still working within Wells Fargo are also considered as well.
It was a positive experience. As with most large companies, Wells Fargo utilizes behavorial interview questions based on the criteria listed in the job description. You should utilize your work history's accomplishments in order to answer the questions. I was not offered the position, as one of the other candidates was already at the Executive Assistant level and had additional experience needed for the job, which I did not have.
Wells Fargo has a wonderful culture and the company care about their employees. They encourage their managers to recognize and award their employees for excellent work.
