BMO really did a speedrun rejection on my application. This has to be the fastest rejection letter, like ever.

There was a job posting by BMO (Toronto Office) for the Corporate Banking Associate position. I applied at 9:56 am (I worked on the application for 3+ hours) and received a rejection letter at 10:06 am. Honestly, I am not even upset, I am somewhat impressed.

Relax, bro. HR at Canadian banks don't even care enough to go through your resume, let alone cross-check times with a post on an online forum.

They send out "You did not get a role" legit 2 months after a superday.

 

I legit applied to the same role at around 1:30 am yesterday and went to bed fingers crossed. Got my rejection email from BMO at 5:25 am.

 

All of Canadian banking recruitment is a facade. They know whom they're hiring before a seat even opens. All the postings and interviews are 99% of the time for show.
