In your Bank of America HireVue interview, you may be given interview questions in the form of text or the form of a pre-recorded video by a Bank of America hiring manager. The average HireVue interview takes approximately 30 minutes to complete. This one-way video interview typically includes 3-5 questions. Depending on the parameters set by Bank of America, the HireVue platform will generally give you 30 seconds to prepare a response and up to 2 minutes to answer each question. It's important to note that HireVue stops recording as soon as your time limit is up, so it's better to run under time than overtime.

"I completed my CFA (Chartered Financial Analyst) education in 2006, and it has equipped me to succeed in the financial services and investments sectors. While earning my education, I did a deep dive into collecting data, analyzing it, and writing reports based on my findings through my dissertation. Outside of my degree, I take part in mentoring and volunteering opportunities. These experiences have improved my active listening skills and communication ability. These combined experiences will make me an excellent Analyst with Bank of America since I have an expert-level understanding of writing research reports for initiations of stock coverage, analysis of data, earnings results, industry news, and thematic topics. I also have a well-honed ability to write professionally; I am adaptable and can work well under pressure."
