I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Absa (Johannesburg) in Dec 2013
Interview
I was surprised that I only had one interview, and then they hired me, but only a few months later. I thought it was a little strange that there was only one interview. I would have expected at least one more interview with other members of the team
I applied in-person. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Absa
Interview
Very limited process as I was recruited by HR. As I was working on a contract basis in another division, I was asked if I would be interested in the position. I was interested, so the process was limited and very quick.
5 competency based interviews. You really have to know your stuff. Was kept informed to a point, but as with most banks there were days and weeks that went by without a word.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
