JPMorgan Chase recently introduced a policy change to increase the notice period to 60 days. I'm a 602 and resigned recently and yet my LWD is showing up as 30 days from now. Anyone recently resigned can confirm if they are facing the same or new policy is in effect. This is causing confusion with the next companies I'm interviewing with.

After submitting my resume for the Global Finance and Business Management full time position at JP Morgan (my dream job!), I got a HireVue invite the next day! However, I completed it 9 days ago and still have no response....
When do we get a response in average, and after how much time does it mean I probably am not getting an offer to continue?
Thanks!

Job hunting, especially in a niche area, can be exhausting. Have you considered remote banking roles, fintech companies, or even credit unions? Sometimes smaller institutions or adjacent industries (like financial advising or compliance) have more openings. Also, networking on LinkedIn with anyone in your broader network could help as well!
I have applied to Credit Unions , Banks , many many places that say they are hiring. Yes I see after on some they turned me down, not all. With my expertise in the area some are looking for it doesn't make sense to not reach out to me. Yet a few I noticed are consistently looking for the same position? Are they discriminating on age or what is up with Employers ? Plus I also am on LinkedIn.
You are not alone, my friend. I lost my job in early 2023 and applied to many jobs with no success. I have about 8 years of experience working with financial firms in a blackhole city called, Los Angeles. Oh not to mention my master in finance and my undergrad in finance and econ, and all the balances on my students loan accts. Do you know what I ended up doing after my countless interviews and job applications. Im currently working an almost data entry job with a very low rate, so I can only survive. Also have to mention my credit cards being maxed out. I am financially and mentally in an awful situation
I truly am so sorry to hear this. Use AI as a tool to weed out more low paying jobs . That's something I have been trying to do.
I may try and take a 33 percent less . It's a hard pill to swallow as I definitely still feel there is better out there . Wishing you way way better position in near future. Sóon, we all need to Stop the Bleeding as they say .
November - December is the worst time of year to look for new roles. Companies are reconciling their budgets for the following year. Not to mention everyone is out bc of the holidays. Things are opening up now. Keep your head up.
There is a great deal of AI vetting of applications. So ensure your CV has all the requirements met within it, even if you are not an expert. Or your application will almost certainly be auto rejected nowadays. Many good appointments are lost this way.
location, location, location. Apply in the financial center cities. (NYC, Seattle, LA, Miami) and second tier financial cities (- Charlotte, Tampa) etc. Once you get an offer you can decide if the move is worth it. Make sure to look at the going pay in the city the position is held in so you don't ask for a low salary as you may be used to Ruston pay. "Should you find yourself in a chronically leaking boat (LA), energy devoted to changing vessels (NYC, LA) is likely to be a more productive than energy devoted to patching leaks."

I am going through the same thing. A lot of jobs that we see posted are spam so check them out carefully, it's SO frustrating! I have been looking for work since Oct 1, 2024. Good luck to you.
Is there a Wells Fargo bank?
They are always hiring. Great Company.
Unfortunately there is not 🥴
What aspect of banking were you in? Retail Banking?
There’s always turnover in the retail bank, former employee here, so you shouldn’t be encountering a lack of jobs. I will say that, and HR will never admit this, but there’s a certain percentage of in-house candidates vs external that they choose to hire, so it could be that you applied and they had an internal candidate.
A lot of the time, the firm would rather not train someone, as they have a demand that needs to be filled immediately, so internal candidates make more sense. My fiancée is a Branch Manager for Wells Fargo, and they have hire ahead/roving bankers now, so when there’s an opening for a permanent post, they can easily fill it. Then backfill the roving banker.
I would focus on your accomplishments as a CSR, what’s your process when meeting with a client of the bank. What do you say, how do you say it? A majority of these interviews utilize the STAR method, so have some examples in your tool box. Also, focus on your delivery of the story, show that you’re human and not a robot. There’s almost always a question revolving around an angry customer with a complaint. The story does not need to be the resolution, the story is the journey it took to get there, even if it was not completely resolved.
Just a few ideas that may help you. If you want, I can offer more, if you have any questions.
Good Luck!
You’re telling me!!! It really took all the joy out of me for the holidays too. It is slowly started to pick up but employers are doing more than one interview per application which is dragging the process 🥴
I completely understand how challenging things must be for you right now. It’s been really tough since the layoffs at your previous job. I truly empathize with your situation as you search for new opportunities. If it helps, consider focusing on any transferable skills you possess that could be valuable in various industries. It might be beneficial to broaden your search beyond just the banking sector. You're not alone in this, and there are paths to explore.
You are not alone,I lost my job in June and have been job hunting since October after maternity leave.i have 15 years experience in banking as an head of Operations and customer service Executive but not placement yet.i have submitted my resume to different banks and other companies, I believe I will be called soon.
Same here, since October 2024 I know exactly how it feels. Let's not give up and do the best we can.
not alone- worked for one of the biggest banks in the country for 14 years. Transferred to a crappy department in lieu of layoff. Was a nightmare . Quit summer of 2023- and have had maybe 5 interviews since then - mortgage/finance industry is tough right now - they want to hire less experienced people so they
can pay less. AI is also changing the landscape. I am just fortunate to be able to retire early at this point
Company strategies on posting jobs without intention to hire. Companies may post jobs on job boards without intending to hire for several reasons, including a poor internal approval process, legal or HR requirements to show a diverse candidate pool for internal promotions, the desire to avoid cronyism, to gather potential applicants for future needs, to gauge market interest, or to use the listing as a promotional tool to show the company is growing. Sometimes, poor coordination or shifting budgets at large companies can also lead to jobs being advertised without ever being filled.
