I applied in-person. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at NovaStar Financial (Kansas City, MO) in Jan 2008
Interview
Managers were very knowledgeable of the industry and market. Had previously been laid off by another mortgage company the month before so was skeptical that Novastar was going to make it in a exceedingly tough market. However, the plan to market their current customers and get them into FHA loans was a big selling point.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Any behavioral based questions are cumbersome and uneasy.
