I applied in-person. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at CIBC (Montreal, QC) in Sept 2010
Interview
if they call you for an interview, your mostly guaranteed the job if its for a basic position, you have to be dressed casual and clean, no jeans. Most questions are based on client services and how you would react to situations. Always keep calm and speak straight up as if you would know exactly what to do, always focus to keep client happy.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
for all questions which regards situations with clients, if you are unsure of your answer, say that you would ask to put the client on hold while you review the account and you would ask a manager for a resolution. In overall, for all situations as for questions and answers; stay calm, listen to client needs and assure client that you will look into it to help for his situation. Also keep in mind that nothing is impossible, you can ask a manager for exceptions.
