Project Manager at Wachovia
Accepted Offer – Interviewed in Oct 2010 – Reviewed Nov 1, 2010

Interview Question – How would you describe your management style View Answer
Negotiation Details – My recruiter was very experienced in negotiation so it went smoothly. Be prepared to be flexible. Be prepared for a lenghthy background check. Mostly criminal.... Don't let it cause any anxiety, they are just very thorough. In my research, I found that the more counties you have lived in or if you came from another state, it will take a little longer. Also, if you are a married woman, your maiden name search may cause a little delay. But, all in all, if you have no convictions particularly related to any fiduciary concerns you should be okay. It's can a be a bit frustrating if you are anxious to get to work. A word of advice, never stop looking for a new job until you have actually started a job!

Store Manager at Wachovia
Accepted Offer – Interviewed in Mar 2010 – Reviewed Aug 29, 2010
Interview Details –
I went to a group interview. Then I interviewed with a DM and store manager. Lastly, I interviewed with another DM and the community bank president. Standard questions to share past experiences in managing others. I went a step further on my own and created a business plan, along with a 30 day plan to initiate my longer term plans.
What was not standard was the way the DM and CBP were talking about other TM's, gossiping really. In the interview! I was appalled by their lack of professionalism in doing so and it left me with an extremely negative view of their leadership. This opinion has only grown after working with them for several months now.
Interview Question – Tell me about a time when you had to work with an underperforming team member. View Answer
Negotiation Details – There were no negotiations. They offered me well above midpoint for the job I was offered.

Quality Assurance Analyst at Wachovia
No Offer – Interviewed in Mar 2010 – Reviewed Jul 30, 2010
Interview Details – Had a face-to-face group panel interview. Each one spoke about their team's area of responsibility and I was given a general description of the job that they were hiring for. They asked about my employment history and how I think I can contribute to their initiatives. I was able to articulate well and though I didn't have the Wachovia experience they required, informed them that I am a quick learner. Explained to them thoughout my career, I have been put in that situation where I have had to learn the project assignment in a short timeframe and have performed succesfully. It was a good interview.
