I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Plaza Bank (Irvine, CA) in May 2017
Interview
I applied on Indeed. Got a phone interview. Went in twice to speak with HR Manager, HR Recruiter and then Treasurer during my second interview. Pretty easy behavioral questions and more about my experiences. Mostly getting a personality fit of my willingness to learn.
I applied through a staffing agency. I interviewed at Plaza Bank (Irvine, CA) in Jan 2017
Interview
I was scheduled at the Irvine office. The branch is downstairs. I was seated in the main lobby. I was treated as though I were opening an account.. with respect and kindness. I let them know that I was here for an interview and the treatment remained the same. Staff of important roles walked in, offered me coffee. I let them know I was not a customer to the bank, but here for an interview. There was no change. Their treatment was the same. I was constantly reassured that someone would be right with me.

Question 1
Other than the norm questions, I was asked how soon could I start and my day was instantly brighter.
