I have a phone interview with Wells Fargo and apparently they have a 3 step process for the interview. I am at the 2nd stage and have a phone interview next week for a personal banker position. Just wondering if anyone could give me a little insight into what questions they might ask.

Thanks!

I'm an executive recruiter and if you want to prep for an interview google the terms "targeted selection questions" or "behavior based interview questions".

Using these for prep will be good no mater what ype of questions the interviewer uses. Good luck.

Can you just give me a list of questions? I am kidding. Thanks. I will research the behavioral based questions online. I m sure most of the questions will be dealing with customer service. How much experience is needed for this position?

What this guy said....behavioral based interview questions...very big here. I mean at Wells Fargo...I don't work here (there)...cause I wouldn't be here. I would be working VERY HARD if I worked for Wells Fargo.

Is there anyway you can make that an "in person" interview? Granted, the 2nd phase usually is a phone interview for Wells Fargo, it might look better if you want to avail yourself for in person interview.

I wish I could have an in person interview, but the process is to have phone interviews for the first two rounds and then an in person interview with the branch in which you are applying to.

During interviews on the phone, I always think of something outside the box to ask so they kinda have to bring me for an in person interview. Remeber, any interview has the sole purpose of generating an idea about you as a candidate. If the idea is good to them, you will be honored with a job. Make yourself an asset from the very start. Think and act outside the box. You can do this. Good luck!!!

Would one of you damn Wells Fargo employees get your automated caller in check. I was a couple days late on a loan payment (total accident) and this damn machine is calling me 6-7 times a day for two straight weeks.

I hate your company.

The secret to behavioral interviewing is going into the interview with 5 - 7 great things you've accomplished in previous jobs, differences you've made. Then, no matter what they ask you can twist the answer around as you need to in order to get one of the 5 - 7 great things you've accomplished out for each question.

For example, a question may be, "tell me about a time you had a disagreement with a supervisor or employee" or "think of a good experience a customer had because you anticipated or met their needs" or "tell me about a time when you had to change your approach when dealing with others in order to get results".

Have some good examples in your head and you can talk and twist your way to a great interview.

As I say to my Grandmother, "that really stinks. Yeah, that's too bad. They should make some changes. Sorry about that Grandma. Yeah, I'll make sure I'll call somebody."

If you were only a couple days late, than why where they calling you for 2 straight weeks? I'm calling BS :smile:

As if you have a ******* clue what my bill statement says.

The number is 605-575-4444, feed that through middle management over there and maybe it will get to someone worth a damn within the next month or two. I just got my 5th call of the day.

Then pay on time, simple solution.

If you hate Wells that much, you can always transfer to another bank.

Have you answered the calls? If not I would. They may have you on a dialer.

The insinuation that someone doesn't pay their bills on time (even over the internet, shocker I know) can be seen as fairly insulting. Takes moderate to little social skills to realize this.

You admit to paying late, then you get pissy for being called out on paying late? Stop derailing the thread with your personal financial problems.

Back on topic, I'd say the customer service type questions are the best to prepare for. I'm an analyst and they asked me some even though I rarely deal with anyone outside of attorney offices. They finished with several skill-based questions that I assume would depend on your position (Mine were critical thinking and problem solving based), so just know what the personal banker position is about and what you bring to position going in to the interview.
