I applied through college or university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at JPMorganChase (Chicago, IL) in Apr 2011
Interview
They gave me an initial interview on campus. That part was pretty straightforward and basic. Then they invited me downtown with twelve other candidates to interview, have lunch, and have a presentation. It was all extremely gimmicky. Make no mistake about it, this is a sales position and is no different than any other sales position. If you studied finance, accounting, or economics then do not waste your time. 95% of finance related majors are over-qualified for this job. I have had over a dozen interviews in the last six months and this was by far the worst one that I have had.
The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at JPMorganChase (New York, NY) in Feb 2017
Interview
Hard interview. Met with Regional and Branch Manager. Interview took over an hour, was asked my goals, how I would sell, my skills, what I would do to succeed etc.

Question 1
What makes you stand out from all the other applicants and how would you apply that at this position?
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at JPMorganChase (Cincinnati, OH) in Dec 2015
Interview
The interview process was fairly simple. Interviewed with the Branch Manager, a second Branch Manager in training, and the Marketing Director. I was told there is usually a second interview with the Marketing Director solely, but they decided to join last minute. The interview lasted a little over an hour. Education and work experience was discussed with a strong emphasis on sales. I was offered the position on the spot. Later that day I was contacted by HR with the official offer letter that showed a pay rate much less than what was discussed. I decided to sign it and began filling out employment forms. Took a drug test and finger prints the next day. The next week I was contacted from a member of the pre employment team requesting documentation and letters of explanation for items that were on my credit report from 2009. I was unable to provide one of the requested documents in a timely manner, so the offer was rescinded three weeks later. The whole process was a complete waste of time, energy, and not worth nearly a $2 pay cut. Had I not had a good relationship with my current employer, I'd be unemployed.
Applied online, used college mate as a referral, got a call from the recruiter very quickly - had a phone interview with the recruiter; got invited to the branch, spoke to the manager. behavioral/personal type of interview.
