I just had the wierdest phone interview for citi ops
So she calls me
asks me why ops, I do the whole " i want to learn more about financial markets, and want a stable job which is important in these turbulent time yada yada yada"
She talks for 15 minutes about what ops is, doesnt let me get a word in (she was nice, but just kept talking).
I get to go over like 2 seconds about my resume
She talked a lot about the exit opportunities of ops, and the next round. So I dont know if its a good thing or bad.
but wtf I never had an interview like this, even when I folded clothes in my HS days.
(btw they did away with their rotational program, its not 2 years on one desk)

probably because she is thinking about jumping her self.
sounds like she is trying
sounds like she is trying really hard to sell herself and the position to you. Its a good sign imo.
Def a good sign...it's been
Def a good sign...it's been my experience that whenever people talk about the company excessively and don't let you really talk about yourself, they've usually made up their minds to bring you back for another interview. It's happened to me 2 or 3 times with the same result.
This could be a good sign
This could be a good sign but I find it annoying when interviewers do this...some of whom I believe just have poor interview skills.

My citi interview was the
My citi interview was the same way. Mine was in-person. He asked me about 6 questions and the rest was him talking about citi and ops. Easiest interview ever. He straight up told me he was recommending me for the 2nd round.
FYI, you'll be hearing about final round invites this week. I spoke with Jillian about this on Friday.
