I was contacted by a recruiter on indeed. I responded back and we set up a phone interview the next day with the Recruiter then a second phone internet with the hiring manager at fidelity. Then I was brought in for an in person interview with 2 manager and they asked several typical interview questions. It was a very relaxed atmosphere and as long as you are yourself and not too nervous it will go pretty smooth.
Be upfront about your work history and skill set.
Make sure to practice and come prepared with SPECIFIC examples; avoid providing vague, surface-level or generic responses.
The STAR interview approach helps a lot!
(Situation, Task, Action, Results)
The STAR method is a structured manner of responding to a behavioral-based interview question by discussing the specific situation, task, action, and result of the situation you are describing.
Situation: Describe the situation that you were in or the task that you needed to accomplish. You must describe a specific event or situation, not a generalized description of what you have done in the past. Be sure to give enough detail for the interviewer to understand. This situation can be from a previous job, from a volunteer experience, or any relevant event.
Task: What goal were you working toward?
Action: Describe the actions you took to address the situation with an appropriate amount of
detail and keep the focus on YOU. What specific steps did you take and what was your particular contribution? Be careful that you don’t describe what the team or group did when talking about a project, but what you actually did. Use the word “I,” not “we” when describing actions.
Result: Describe the outcome of your actions and don’t be shy about taking credit for your
behavior. What happened? How did the event end? What did you accomplish? What did you
learn? Make sure your answer contains multiple positive results.
