I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at J.P. Morgan in Nov 2011
Interview
Pretty simple. Submit application online, wait for back office recruiting people to call. They forward the info on to a branch level. Wait for the branch manager to call. Go into an interview. Come out. Start working.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
All their questions were pretty expected. The most reflective one was, "what was a time when a customer was upset with you and how did you handle the situation?"
As it was my first experience in life for a job, I started well before time so that I may not be late. I reached there well in time. There was a big hall there and about 35 candidates were waiting for their chance.
It was super easy, and they asked very straight forward questions, and made me feel super comfortable. They asked me a few questions, they mostly wanted to know how personable I am.
Easy to track system, was well informed of the process and what to expect from the recruiter and hiring team. Clear and concise overall. I wish all processes with companies were this simple.
