I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Santander (Perth Amboy, NJ) in Oct 2020
Interview
The interview process was smooth for the most part. The manager at the time was very understanding and encouraging. First i had a phone interview and then a interview with the manager of the branch and another person. They were quick with letting me know their offer.(about one week after the last interview)
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
“ explain a situation where you had encountered a difficult customer and how did you handle it”
It was straightforward. Applied online. Got a call to schedule a in-person interview with the branch manager. Questions were simple. Come prepared with answer about questions regarding customer service. Also emphasize your ability to upsell products and services the bank offers. That will really catch your interviewer's attention.
Sit down with the district manager who asks you basic interview questions. Asked about my experience, and other common interview questions. Overall it was pretty painless and not bad to get through.
