I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at HSBC (Mettawa, IL) in May 2011
Interview
Took 2 months. Phone interview with Human Resources. Met with both Directors and then the Department Head. Not difficult as it became clear none of the individuals had any experience conducting an interview. They ask few question and did most of the speaking. It would be a sign of things to come when I later worked in the department.
