It was demanding but worth it. My 3rd time applying for Amex and finally made it through all the hoops and loops and got an offer. Don't give up and be prepared for the interviews. My last time applying was in as follows early Aug application received. End of Aug hireview interview received. Interview schedule for Mid Sept, 2nd round end of Sept. Last interviews and Background etc Oct, Training started in early Nov. Advice make sure your resume matches your correct info the background they run is very detailed and will probably uncover inaccurate information if you have any.
