Me postulé en línea. Acudí a una entrevista en RBC (Toronto, ON) en ago 2018
Entrevista
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.

- If you were given $1M to launder that money and you have to go through financial institutions, how would you do it?
- Is there any last thing you want to contribute that would make you stand out among other candidates? (I think I messed this one up!) :(
30 minutes video call, very spontaneous and easy going, Interviewer let me know that I don't fit requirements for the role within the interview and recommended me for other positions.

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.
