      Financial Planner Investment & Retirement Planning Interview

      20 Aug 2013
      Anonymous employee
      Hamilton, ON
      Accepted offer
      Declined offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at BMO Financial Group (Vancouver, BC) in Mar 2015

      Interview

      Phone interview followed by manager interview (sometimes 2 managers together). Usually another interview with a manager and a Sales Pro (personality test) Go online and look for most common behavioural interview questions and answers, if you run through these you should be fine. I would suggest really reading the job posting and using the required skills in the language they use on that posting back at them when answering their questions.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      all pretty much behavioural stuff. Greatest strength, biggest weakness. This depends on the experience of the manager. Usually "give me an example of a time when.... How did you ...."

      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at BMO Financial Group (Hamilton, ON)

      Interview

      There was a telephone interview with a hiring company, then an interview with the Manager. Then a third interview with the Manager and their Boss. Interview was typical with the general questions. There was also a behavioral test done on the computer that you had to submit. I thought it was a thorough but manageable process.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      The behavioural computer questions were odd but they usually are.
