I applied through university. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Vanguard (Malvern, PA) in Apr 2015
Interview
I met with a recruiter at school and was in contact with them through email. They called me and went over my resume. Asked me STAR questions and then one financial terminology question. The phone interview was only a half hour. A lot of STAR questions.." Tell me about a time that you had to show leadership" etc.
I was then emailed that HR looked over my resume and thought I should interview for a contracting role through Randstad.
