What are the top 3 skills you have acquired in your last role?

You have likely gained many valuable skills in your career, and your interviewer wants to hear about the skills that will be most relevant to a role at Scotiabank. Before the interview, make a list of the best skills you have developed in your most recent role. Make sure to include both hard and soft skills, then reflect on which are most relevant to this role and provide the best examples to share with your interviewer.

Keep in mind that Scotiabank's values are respect, integrity, accountability, and passion. Bonus points if you can relate the skills you've developed in your professional life to Scotiabanks's mission and values.

"In the past few years, I was able to upgrade my education while still working full-time. The biggest skill I gained was my ability to multi-task as I worked the dual role of employee and student. I worked incredibly hard to balance these responsibilities and would bring this motivation to the role of an analyst. I also pride myself on my curiosity. Expanding the breadth of my knowledge is important to me, and I did that academically. My curiosity itself is a motivator for me, and my attitude toward learning keeps me humble and hungry. As for a third skill, I would say that I'm personable. I've always been a people person and work well with others. At my current job, I work with a team of six people. We've developed a top-notch strategy for communicating and divvying up tasks."
