American Express Interview Questions.

It's always hard to know what to expect when going in for that interview -- and preparation can make all the difference. What is the interview process like at American Express?

Any advice on striking the right note?

I worked for AMEX for 5 years. The initial interview was a series of tests and then a one-on-one interview. Most other interviews I have been on with the company were panel interviews. One time I had a round robin interview. (I think that is what it is called.) If you are going for a basic customer service position, I would assume you would have a one-on-one interview. All other positions, expect a panel.

AMEX employee development emphasises the S.T.A.R. method of interviewing. Basically they want Situation, Action, Outcome (result).

Interviews are usually 4-5 questions.

I hope somebody finds this helpful.

I am having a telephonic interview with amex on tuesday. I am based in germany and have applied for a position as sr. manager. Now I got told that the telephonic interview is been held from new york even so the position is based in germany.

Do you know if the interview system varies between countries or is amex applying an american system?

Hi,
I am a university student and have interview next week with amex for a year placement as junior financial analyst. Once you pass then only you go through another interview process again. I am wondering what kind of questions they will be asking since i m still an undergraduate. Any ideas if it will be more skills and personality based or technical based?

I recently applied for a senior level position. A recruiter contacted me to do an initial screening. I was then asked to come in and interview with 5 individuals. I interviewed separately with each sr. manager. I was shocked that this global organization would have me come in and meet individually with these people who basically asked me all the same questions! The interview process is long, sloowwwwwwww and antiquated. It's been 2 weeks and they haven't responded to me yet. I wonder what they do for less senior positions. Needless to say I'm no longer interested in the role as the company isn't progressive enough in their selection process, they have little respect in terms of their responsiveness to potential employees and their lack of decisiveness has turned me off. Not to mention that if their interview process is this substandard, I can't imagine what working there would be like. I believe I dodged a bullet here.
