No Offer – Interviewed in Chicago, IL Feb 2013 – Reviewed Feb 12, 2013
Interview Details – Phone interview first about 30 minutes. I didn't make it past this because the interviewer felt that I wouldn't be a good match based on my lack of enthusiasm. He cut the interview short after asking me two questions. The first question was "can you explain your resume/experience/education to me?" The second question was, "why do you want to work for wells fargo and why this job?" He said there would be some technical questions but I didn't make it that far.
Interview Question – My resume/experience/education summary was very good but he said I lacked enthusiasm (regarding my answer to the second question). View Answer
