Main focus is sales. Some financial experience may be required, but someone willing to go after everyone in order to sell, sell, sell is more valued. Quantity over quality. Emphasize on it. Compliance is important, so do not get sidetracked. Hired from within. Not sure what the process is coming from outside.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Chase (San Francisco, CA) in Dec 2010
