Interviewed Sep 2011 in Toronto, ON (Canada) (took a day)
The interview was for an Associate position within CIBC's Technology Leadership Associate Program (TLAP). It was in a group interview format with two interviewers. Overall, the interview atmosphere was very relaxed and the interviewers (one of whom was a current TLAP associate) took a lot of notes in the process.
They started off by asking questions such as 'Why TLAP', 'Walk me through your resume', 'What are your career goals'. They then went on to ask some situational/behavioural questions.
- Describe a failure you faced.
- What did you learn from the failure?
- Give an example when you applied that learning.
- Tell me about a time when you had to persuade someone to agree to your viewpoint.
- Explain your weaknesses.
- Do you have any questions for me?

Interviewed May 2010 in Montreal, QC (Canada) (took a day)
At first you have the phone interview, and they ask you multiple questions, if they ask you to come in for an interview your guaranteed the job unless you fail the interview. You have to be client related and understanding. Keep in mind that its the client which counts and they are the image of cibc. All questions are related to problem solving, the key is to satisfy the client even if they might be wrong, having exceptions for situations is what makes the client happy, as long it would not put the company down.

Interviewed Nov 2011 in Hamilton, ON (Canada) (took 1+ week)
I applied online via the CIBC.com website. They had listings for positions for CIBC and PC financial. I applied to both companies and only heard from PC. I did however get an email from CIBC saying the position was filled but they kept my resume on file. PC sent me an email requesting a date to set up a phone interview. The phone interview lasted about 15-20 mins. It is part of the initial screening process with someone at HR. They asked me questions about PC financial. I think they wanted to see how much I knew about the company. They have a video on the job posting, I strongly recommend watching that. They asked me questions like: How is PC financial different (different way of banking; internet, phone and abm. PBR are expected to approach customers in the grocery aisle, no fee bank account, etc). It is also good to know about their points program. The phone call was laid back and the man interviewing me was very friendly. After the interview he told me that he would send my resume to the hiring manager. I was contacted by the hiring manager and set up a 1:1 interview. When I went to that it was just me and the hiring manager. He told me it is usually 2:1. himself and his boss and the candidate. the 1:1 consisted of many behavioural questions, emphasizing past work experiences. IE: name me a time u were in a conflict and how did u resolve it. name me a time the morale was low, what did you do and what was the outcome. what are your 3 strengths. why did u apply to PC. how did u build a customer relationship and what was the outcome of it.
Overall, the interview process was very typical. They were very nice people and didnt want to be intimidating. if you have great experience in dealing with sales targets and customer service this interview process will seem easy

Interviewed Dec 2009 (took 2 days)
They start out with a phone interview as an initial screening of candidates. Once II made it past that test and they were interested in seeing me, the next day they invited me in for a personal interview.
High security, but quite friendly workplace... they made me feel welcome. The one on one interview was to get an overview of my skills, as well as to gauge communication skills.
There was also a short technical skills test after the interview, a mix of simple and complex questions.
I think there is a third interview after this one, but I did not receive a phone call afterward. They did send out a standard "thank you" letter, though about a week and a half later.

Interviewed Oct 2011 in Edmonton, AB (Canada) (took a day)
They asked basic questions about my degree and things I've done outside of school. Nothing too specific, reviewed my resume and asked why I wanted to work for them. The process was fairly short only took 10-15 minutes. They made it seem like there were a lot of people applying for the job.

the person who was supposed to interview me was in a meeting so another person in HR took me into the interview room and conducted it. she had her cell phone on the desk throughout the interview. it vibrated twice. she picked up her phone and did some texting. this all happened while i was answering her questions. no professionalism at all.
