Easy Interview
Application

I applied through college or university. I interviewed at Scotiabank (Vancouver, BC)

Interview

Focuses primarily on culture fit. The technical component is limited as you will mostly learn on the job. Will ask you classic interview questions and go through your resume. There aren't that many interview rounds.

Average Interview
Application

I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Scotiabank (Calgary, AB)

Interview

First interview: video with HR, about 15-20 minutes. Questions related to Scotia values, requirements that are on job posting. Second interview: with individual branch assistant managers and customer experience leads(supervisors). Usually in-person at branch, but may be over the phone or video depending on their preference. I know now that I'm hired, but at the end of the interview they say the HR person decides, but actually the assistant managers/customer supervisors do (depending on if they want you in the branch as a team member), then the HR person vaguely communicates some excuse.

Interview Questions
  • How do you explain complex concepts in simple terms? What is your experience (sales, finance)? What made you apply? How do you handle rude customers?
