What is your weakness?
3 Answers↳
My strong personality to be the best.

Whatever you do don't say that you are unable to work in a very structured job. Chase is really big on structure and knowing your role. Tell them that you love helping people and that sometimes you might be too invested in your clients success but just need to learn to trust your team members who you hand them off too. For example, the PB will hand off clients to specialist who need help with investments, mortgage, car loans, etc. Less

Don't give a transparent answer like "my strong personality to be the best." Give a REAL weakness, and then show how knowing it's a weakness helps you to be successful. Less
She asked right off the bat how much I was expecting to get paid if an offer was made. Most of the time that question is more towards the end.

Yeah, but you can always expect the unexpected in an interview. Its always good to honestly tell the person how much you are expecting rather than to crib later. And you can promise that you will be completely worth the amount you have asked for. Less

its ok
she picked up a pen and said "how would you sell this pen?"
3 Answers↳
I was also asked to sell a pen to my interviewer after talking about my sales skills. The interviewer kept insisting that he had a meeting to go to (brush off tactic). My sales presentation wasn't up to their par apparently (the interviewer told me so right away), so I asked to be coached (trying to show my willingness to learn). The answer they're looking for works something like this: 1) You try to sell interviewer pen 2) Interviewer brushes you off 3) Be persistent! Keep trying to sell the pen 4) Brush off continues 5) Make sure that the interviewer (pen customer) knows that their time is important to you and that you will leave a sample pen for them to test out and come by in a few days to follow up with the potential client Persistence is the key, as well as follow up. I believe after asking to be coached that this is what they're looking for. Less

I am actually shocked at how many candidates had this question. I didn't have it in my PB interview. I would answer that my expectations of this position don't necessarily involve the same skill set to selling a commodity like a common pen. The PB position is about identifying customer needs and presenting suitable, appropriate solutions. Discussing selling a pen, to me, is too generalized and does not adequately allow the interviewer and interviewee to explore the specific skills geared toward the consultative approach necessary to be successful in this position. If I were a hiring branch manager, I would not ask this question. Less

"our products are not so mundane"
The most difficult question for me personally is always, "What are your professional shortcomings, where can you improve"?
1 Answers↳
I sometimes get a little too ambitious and want to take on extra tasks and responsibilities, and satisfy everyone at once.That's not to say that I fail, or spread myself so thin that the quality of my work suffers. It just makes the environment more dynamic than it needs to be. Less
