Teller at Bank of America

Accepted Offer – Interviewed in New York, NY May 2013 – Reviewed May 14, 2013 New

Interview Details – So this is the interview process for a teller at BofA. First, I applied online through BofA.com. Once I applied they give you about 48 hours to complete the assessment test. The assessment test asks you a variety of questions such as, money counting, typing speed, situational questions, characteristic questions of yourself.
     After you pass the assessment test you would be contacted by a recruiter within two days or so through email to set up your first phone interview. The first phone interview will be very easy. She would tell you about the Teller position, salary, and so on. She would then ask you, "tell me about yourself and why did you choose BofA?"
     Then after, she would set up a second phone interview with another recruiter the day after and stated that it would be 30 minutes long. The second interview was more detailed. Again she asked, "tell me about yourself, why did you choose BofA, What do you see yourself doing in 3 years, what was your title from your previous job and responsibilities, tell me about a time you went beyond to help a customer, and lastly role play being a teller and she was the customer." During the role play she asked to view the account of her sick brother who was in the hospital. Now all you need to remember is to acknowledge her sick brother and make sure you go back with fulfilling the transaction or a viable solution to the situation if she is not allowed to see her brother's account. Once you do well on the second interview you will receive another email stating you have an interview with the Branch manager and Assistant manager of your desired location I set it up for Monday instead of that Friday (FYI, banks are normally super busy on Friday. I rather get them while they aren't so busy.)
     When I went to the third and last interview I wasn't that nervous. I kept in mind everything that was done in the second phone interview and luckily they were the same questions. Both the managers were very pleasant. I left with a good feeling and waited about a week to hear back from my recruiter of the second phone interview and extend the opportunity to me.

Also the background check is very thorough make sure your resume matches your background information. Don't lie on it, you will only hurt yourself.

Best Luck!

Interview Question – The role playing part was the only part in which you have to think a bit. Its manageable though.   Answer Question

Teller at Bank of America

Accepted Offer – Interviewed in Aug 2011 – Reviewed May 6, 2013

Interview Details – Fairly standard. Selection process starts with a job being posted online (at the company's website, but it can be advertised at other venues). Once you apply, you will be asked to take an online assessment that includes personality questions, work experience, education, etc. It also includes one section that aims at determining your tendency to behave in certain ways under certain conditions (how to handle a difficult customer, a co-worker is being dishonest, etc.) Just be honest and you'll do fine. Also remember how you answer the questions because they recycle questions (reworded) and that's how many are disqualified, because of the inconsistency of their answers. The assessment also includes a section that evaluates your ability to handle money and to perform basic operations and attention to detail, as well as mutiltasking.
Once you complete the assessment, you will be notified via email if you passed and an HR recruiter will call you to set up an initial phone interview. If they want you, they'll set up a second interview with the same recruiter. If you pass this interview, the recruiter will contact you once again to file paperwork that includes fingerprints, background check (beware, they'll leave no stone unturned). If you pass this second interview, the recruiter will invite you to a final interview, this time with the banking center manager and possibly one of two of his/her management team members. This is a very good sign and it is almost a formality (IMHO). Consider yourself hired. Congrats?

Interview Question – No weird questions asked. I'd say, if they ask you an open-ended question such as: What can you tell me about yourself? Capitalize on that moment and shine on! Show them why you'd love to work for that company and why you're the best candidate. Be prepared to give examples of how you handled difficult situations in previous jobs. Definitely negotiate   Answer Question

Negotiation Details – If you have any kind of banking experience, by all means negotiate your salary, emphasizing why you deserve such an hourly rate. If not, well, that depends on the particular situation. Are you bilingual? That's more money. Do you have managerial experience? That's more money. Experience in sales? Check.

Teller at Bank of America

Accepted Offer – Interviewed in Boone, NC Oct 2012 – Reviewed Apr 17, 2013

Interview Details – After applying for the job, I was emailed an assessment to be completed ASAP. The assessment was easy but long. About two weeks later I was called by a corporate recruiter where she instructed me on where to go for an interview, how to dress, and what to bring with me.

I went in for the interview and it was with the banking center assistant manager. She was very laid back and asked the generic interview questions that everyone expects when you go in. The interview wasn't stressful at all.

About two more weeks later I received a call with a job offer in which I accepted.

Interview Question – There were no difficult questions, just generic interview questions.   Answer Question
