My interview process began with my submission of my resume via email, and I was recommended through a referral. After exchanging emails with the interviewer, a phone interview was scheduled. The phone interview was basic and focused on my skills and why I would be a good fit for the Loan Officer position.
The next step in the process was an in-person interview. This was the standard interview, though I did appreciate the interviewer working to get to know my own goals. I was able to ask questions and received what seemed to be honest answers.
After this interview, I was asked to schedule a phone interview with the manager who I would be working with directly. This was a brief exchange with basic conversation regarding my interest in the position and rehashing why I think I'd be a good fit.
After the interviews, if you are still in consideration for the position, you will be asked to take an online assessment. The assessment takes about an hour and can be saved and resumed later. It asks personality questions, similar to what is found in most sales positions. There is also a section to test mathematical and grammatical ability.
Next, you will fill out approval for a background and credit check. Mine took approximately 10 days to complete, after which I was offered the position. Communication throughout the process was consistent, frequent, and accommodating. I had the ability to ask questions when they arose, though I asked the ones I had at in-person interview.
