The goal of the Situational Judgment Tests (SJT) is to assess the relevant behavioral and cognitive abilities of candidates when faced with hypothetical, daily work-related situations. This also assesses the competencies and personality traits of potential candidates. The questions provide a scenario of a situation that is common in the specific field and candidates are to select the answer choice that best represents how s/he would behave or what s/he believes to be the best course of action.
A New Regulation
Customers have been complaining about one of the bank's regulations. You agree and have found a way to satisfy the customers while adhering to the bank's policies. What do you do?
This question is about coping with changes and with regulations. The core competencies being tested here are conscientiousness and openness to experience (being flexible and adapting to change). The secondary competencies are following procedures and being proactive. Let’s examine our options:
A – This course of action shows creativity and proactivity as you find a new solution. However, this course of action is also problematic as you have made a decision and ignored bank procedures.
B – This is a good option, as you display creativity and proactivity by finding a solution, pitching it to your supervisor, and not ignoring bank procedures.
C – This answer choice shows that you follow regulations, but that you are also passive, as you don’t take action to improve the situation.
D – Here you both follow regulations and take action. However, writing an email to customer service is probably not the most efficient way to address this problem. It is better to personally contact the responsible department or to pass it on via your supervisor.
We are left with B and D. Comparing the two, B is more proactive than D. While both options choices follow the bank procedure and take action, in D you simply point out an issue in a relatively passive manner (writing an e-mail). In B, you take initiative by discussing the issue with your supervisor and offering a solution.
The best answer is B.
The following question is a sample question you'll likely see in some variation on your Personality Assessment:
How to Answer Personality Questions?
The question above measures your level of assertiveness. Based on your answer here and on similar items that measure assertiveness, you'll receive a score indicating If you are within the desired range for the job. Eventually, the personality test results would show your behavioral tendencies related to numerous traits. To be found as a great fit, you should practice answering within your job's ideal range for that evaluated trait.
For example, when applying for a management position, employers expect a relatively high level of assertiveness. Choosing the disagree/agree rating would show that you have what it takes to lead and manage. However, answering agree/strongly agree would indicate that you do not easily express your opinions and desires and prefer to let others manage the course of affairs.
Previous candidates were asked the questions below:
Typically you should emphasize why you are the correct choice for the job. You should bring in good examples from past experiences to show that you have the skills needed to succeed. Use the STAR method (link to STAR method page) to answer questions as this provides a complete picture and is an engaging way to answer.
Preparing for the test will help will improve your scores and give you the edge you need to gain the job.
TD Bank hiring processes follow similar patterns for each type of recruitment, but the exercises you will encounter depend on the level you are applying to. There are also some differences at each level between technical recruitment and business roles. You can be requested to attend an interview and complete aptitude tests.
