Teller at Wells Fargo

No Offer – Interviewed in Baltimore, MD – Reviewed May 17, 2013 New

Interview Details – They go a long tedious process like other banks do. Unlike other big banks WF didnt do a phone interview but did a GROUP INTERVIEW. To be honest, I hate both methods. After you sumit your resume, they will email you with automatic set up date that you can use to go to a group interview if your resume has what they are looking for. The group interview process was somewhat intimidating because Im not a good speech maker talking besides crowds. There were at least 15 people in the room fightinging for maybe one or two position. WF person tells you that you will be located to your desired area once you get hired. Enough of that talk, some people in the room were already over qualified. They make you watch stupid videos and it was a complete waste of 2 hours of my life.

Interview Question – just typical interview questions   Answer Question

Diverse Segments Intern at Wells Fargo

Accepted Offer – Interviewed in Dallas, TX Apr 2011 – Reviewed May 16, 2013 New

Interview Details – I applied for this internship online by searching their career section. After I applying, I heard back via email about a month and a half later. To be honest, since it took so long for them to get back to me I had assumed that I hadn't been selected for an internship.

I did one phone interview with the recruiter. My recruiter was awesome, he gave me tips on what the hiring managers would ask and how I should answer them. After my interview with him, I had a second phone interview with the hiring manager and VP for the region. They asked me to describe problems I had faced in the past and how I overcame them. They also asked me to describe a challenge in the workplace and how I went about solving it. Make sure you prepare for this interview, you will look foolish if you don't.

Interview Question – I knew what questions were coming thanks to my recruiter, however they did take time to think about and process how I would answer them. Ask your recruiter what you should expect in the next round of interviews and they will most likely give you some hints.   Answer Question

Negotiation Details – There was no negotiation, they offered $15/hr and I accepted.

Intern at Wells Fargo

Accepted Offer – Interviewed in Los Angeles, CA May 2013 – Reviewed May 10, 2013 New

Interview Details – First interview is over the phone with the recruiter (gatekeeper) and you are asked questions about yourself, your accomplishments, and any community/charity work you have done... Once you WOW the recruiter the next step is a panel interview with at least 3 people. They ask you behavioral questions and again are looking for you do stand out by explaining what you have accomplished.

Interview Question – I did not find the questions to be hard, I do feel that you need to prepare in order to make them seamless stories that will translate easily. The unexpected one is regarding community work or charities you are involved in and what do you personally contribute to them.   Answer Question

Negotiation Details – You are then given an offer letter if applicable and salary is non-negotiable; but it is $15/hr.
