I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Scotiabank (Toronto, ON) in Oct 2013
Interview
The interview process was very relaxed and unstructured. Met with two members of senior management for a small team. It was the standard discussion of my experience with a few questions about financial instruments. We met in a boardroom for approximately 40 minutes. I get the sense that my qualifications were sufficient for the role, and that management wanted to see how I would react in person.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
To explain the mechanics of capital markets transactions (i.e. repo).
Reached out to by HR after 1 week and a team member after applying online after 1.5 weeks. Was given less than a working day of notice for the first-round online interview. During the call, the questions felt unstructured. They repeatedly pressed me on why I wanted the role, but never actually explained what the role fully entailed. Communication stopped immediately after the call—no feedback, no update.
nice vibe with very professional structure. with multiple normal bq and mainly ask you about your resume, so need to prepare your resume carefully, you need to familiar with anything on your resume
