I applied online. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at CIBC in Oct 2013
Interview
The interviewers asked questions about my resume and work experience. Then we had to role play a situation as if I was the representative behind a desk and the interviewer was a client.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Was most surprised by having to role play a scenario. They focused more on the discussion you were able to have with a client, how well you listend, and judged your response to their answers. In one scenario, the client kept mentioning her husband, so it was best to suggest setting up an appointment with him there. They were not focused on the actual banking products since they will teach those in training.

I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at CIBC (Vancouver, BC) in Nov 2020
Interview
Had meeting and spoke with branch manager before job posting, told to apply to job posting and do phone screening. Received call from recruiter without confirming call time with me beforehand. Did not have time to talk in depth as I was heading out to work, spoke for a few minutes and she said I didn't have enough experience. Recruiter didn't want to schedule follow up afterwards to have a in depth conversation on my skills and experience. Strange encounter to say the least.
