Initially I was contacted by a PNC recruiter regarding my resume they found on one of the career sites. After going through an initial conversation with the recruiter I was schedule for an phone interview with the team lead. In this interview we went over my technical background and experiences as well as what the position entailed. The next step was a phone interview with the teams manager where we discussed more of my background/experience and what would be expected if I was offered the position. Finally I had one final interview with the managers boss. This was an overview of the division and what the goals of the next few years are, and what the position would be supporting. All of the interviews were by phone due to me being in a different state. The entire process took about 3 weeks, with approximately 1 week between each phone interview. The recruiters I worked with were amazing, they kept me informed over each step what to expect and the approximate time frame between steps.

Generally, PNC interviews take a behavioral-based approach with applicants. Most questions involve situations where an interviewee may use previous experience or personal opinions to influence answers. The whole interview process is usually conducted by a bank manager or other hiring representative and may last anywhere from 45 minutes to an hour, based on the job. Applicants may ask the interviewer questions, as well. Job hopefuls should inquire about work environment, benefits, advancement opportunities, and employee policies.
