Ho presentato la mia candidatura online. Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso RBC (Toronto, ON) nel mese di ago 2018
Colloquio
1. Phone screening:
- Pretty basic. They really just want to know whether or not you have knowledge about AML process within a financial institution. If you have no background in AML like me, I'd suggest reading up on some online resources. Great resources on Youtube as well!
- The entire process lasted around 15 minutes and they (3 people) scheduled an in person interview at the end. They explain to you about the case interview and the expectations.
2. In-person Case Interview:
- The entire process was 1 hour and you're given 5 case scenarios with a person's financial transactions with a bank and you are given 30 minutes so around 6 minutes per case should be spent.
- I was told to write in bullet forms on my logic and reasoning of why each scenario was deemed suspicous or not. Essentially, you can think of being an investigator with RBC writing up the case report.
- I was left alone for the duration of the case writing and after the time's up, two managers came in to ask about my reasoning for each case. After that's done, short behavioural questions were followed and I think that's where you should really sell yourself to them on why you're the best candidate.
Overall, the interview process was quite pleasant including the in-person one. My interviweres were far from intimidating and seemed like they really wanted to get to know me. Unfortunately, I didn't hear back within the week so GG WP!
P.S I found some documents/reports on FINTRAC website to be quite helpful because they provide you with some actual AML cases that have happend.

- What's a misconception about you?
- Tell us a compelling reason why you're the best candidate for this position.
- What are some positive and negative things your manager would say about you?
- Why do you want to work here?

Colloquio
It was a quick process with 2 stages of interview in one week. First stage was an online 30 mins with case study to understand aml knowledge and critical thinking. 2nd stage was an inperson 1 hr and 30 mins with 3 case studies. You do need to prep for it but It wasn’t hard.
