Three interviews. Phone. In person regional manager. In person senior manager. A recruiter reached out to me via linked in and requested a phone interview. She asked me basic question about my management experience and then told me I would have an in person interview with a regional manager. The regional manager interviewed me for about an hour. He talked more than I did and talked citizens up quite a bit. He was honest however that it was a difficult job and seemed even a little dissapointed in the organization talking about its glory days a few years back. It seemed as if he resented the direction the company had taken since it went public but was still optimistic. The interview with senior management seemed like more of a formality. He just asked me about myself and that was it. I received an offer three days later. I negotiated for a higher salary and got it and then accepted.

I scheduled a virtual interview with a recruiter. However, she states that they're restrictedly ONLY hiring exactly from the job description says 3-5 retail management experience with the Branch Manager title, but she didn't want to waste my time, so she decided to offer me a banker position. I first appreciated her time, at the same time I also explained my experiences and achievement has definitely a matched for the job description, and I already been a banker for 5 years, and now 3 years + as Assistant Branch Manager as second to go person, I basically doing the same as BM, and assisted the branch archived goals exceeded the regional standard, I don't think it make sense to backward to become a banker and start everything over. The whole interview was great conversation and smooth, just because the title made me can't move forward, I think it's a bit unfair by turned down like this.
