When applying at Bank of America, applications are only accepted online. However, it's best to apply online but to also visit the branch and introduce yourself. I went to the office and told them that I'm looking to apply. I gave them a brief background description of my work history while also giving copies of my resume to several of the managers.
Once I applied online, I received an email from a recruiter. She explained that the next step was to take an online test. The test consisted of 100 questions that dealt with a range of things. Are you an honest person, do you work well with others, are you a hard work, and etc.
Once I finished the test, I received an email from the recruiter stating she would get back to me about my results. In the beginning, she acted as if my results and resume indicated that I didn't have enough experience. So I was pretty bummed out but I continued to have faith.
Then out of the blue the same recruiter called me to say that Bank of America wanted to do a group interview with me. Now that process was interesting. You go to this office to fill out a ton of paperwork. Then you're put in this room with a ton of other candidates. You then go to this large conference room where you're asking a million questions, you work with teams on exercises, and you present and answer your answers for different exercises.
After that long process/interview, you're told that they'll get back to you. So you're waiting and waiting. Then you receive the next call that your meeting with the managers of the actual banking center. That interview was very easy. You tell them a little about yourself, what you want to achieve, and ask them whatever questions you have about the job.
Then another week or so you're waiting for some type of reply from a recruiter. I happen to be asleep on my day off from school and answered the phone from my recruiter. She offered me the job and told me all the details/benefits that I would have. I wish I would have negotiated but I was young and didn't know.
I worked for Bank of America for 3 years. Within those three years I was promoted 4 times and received several "Quarter Awards of Excellence". Once you're in, you're in for life. They love to promote within! So if you're looking for a place to stay for years/decades BofA is definitely the place to go. Sky is the limit. The world is your office and you an go into any type of field.
Good Luck!
