Interviewed Jan 2008 in Burbank, CA (took a day)

I had an interview with the branch manager of the specific branch and then another face to face with the district manager. Both of them asked me similar types of questions relating to my skills and what I can bring to Wells Fargo. Most questions were in regards to my client servicing skills as well as sales experience.

Interviewed Aug 2010 in West Covina, CA (took 5 days)

I applied online and the following day, I got an e mail with the information for assessment test. After completing the task, I called the HR to learn my score and surprisingly, HR lady made me take the phone interview right away. I passed the first phone interview and now I am waiting to pass another group interview.

Interviewed Aug 2010 in Oxnard, CA (took 2 days)

Day 1: I applied online for a Wells Fargo job as a teller. I completed the application and was sent email stating that in the next 24 hours I will receive another email to take the personality screening test.

Day2: I received the email for the screening test and I took and passed the test. I receive the 1888 number that I had to call for an over the phone interview within the next 24 hours. That day I called the number and was interviewed over the phone. I was a bit nervous about it so I don't know how I did. The recruiter told me that a phone call or email will contact me about a further interview.

Its been a day so far and haven't heard back. I applied to a couple branches within my area. I went online to check my profile on the Wells Fargo website and it said I was declined for one of the branches I applied to. I dont know about the rest of them. Hopefully I'll hear from them soon. I'm going over to talk to my brother who's been working for Wells Fargo for 13 years and I'm gonna ask him for any advice. I'll post an update soon.

My question to anyone is if you get a group interview right after the phone interview? Does the recruiter give you an appointment right away? Or does it take days before you hear anything?

Interviewed Jul 2010 in Covina, CA (took 4 weeks)

The online application consisted of basic questions, and some detailed questions reguarding sales experience. Once that was submitted the following day i recieved an email requesting me to call an 800 number. While speaking with the representative he asked me questions like: give an example of a time when you met/exceeded sales goals, give an example of a time you had a disgruntled customer & how you helped them. I though the phone interview was pretty lame and that i hadnt passed, about 3 weeks later got an email to call about a group interview. my interview is tomorrow will update to how it went & what they asked.

Interviewed Jan 2009 in San Gabriel, CA (took 3 months)

Applied online, and a simple phone interview came about a week later. Then it took about two months to get to the group interview where you have to be very aggressive and raise your hand for every question. Once you pass this interview you then go to a second interview where you give a presentation to District Managers, then one on one with them.
