I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Manulife (Toronto, ON) in Oct 2012
Interview
First Round: HR Recruiters, questions about background and reasons why I wanted to join
Second Round: SVP and AVP, questions around what I brought to the table, some technical skills questions, more about fit and what my future goals were. As this role was based more on leadership they were looking for people they could groom into a future business leader.
