I applied through other source. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at CIBC (London, ON) in Jan 2014
Interview
I went to the open house of CIBC and talked to one the branch managers, got a call after 2 days for an in-person interview. They skipped the phone interview for me because I talked to the branch manager. And after I went to the bank, I had the interview with an assistant manager and a secretary. The process took about 30 minutes and it was set in a really friendly atmosphere. The questions are really ordinary and all of them are in my expectations, including many sales questions and behavioral questions. For example, describe yourself; how do you see yourself in 5 years; what do you think is good customer service; do you have upsell experience; describe a difficult customer you have ever met and how you solved the problem.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Describe a time you had a conflict with your team, and how you solved it?
The interview is straightforward and friendly. It is a 30-minute conversation where you will discuss your experience and walk through a few customer scenarios. You will demonstrate how you would handle challenging situations with poise and clarity.
They Scheduled my Interview and I received the rejection email 2 hours before my Interview. How can they reject without interviewing ? The whole interview process looks bogus to me
