I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at CIBC in Sep 2010
Interview
There was a phone call interview with HR, where standard questions such as "what job experience do you have", "what makes you qualified" "what salary are you expecting" were asked.
Next I had an interview with my manager and she asked questions about what I've done before and possibly where I'd like to go and how long I'd stay.
Lastly, I had an informal interview with the executive assistant (as I was to be in a team of assistants) for an interview on personal fit.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
The hardest question was answering where I want to go as I had just came out of school. I greatly appreciated the fact that my manager hired me knowing that I had just graduated and she wanted to give me the step in the door.
New grad, emailed a LinkedIn connection expressing interest and was called in for an interview. Positive experience throughout the interview, warm and genuine. I was told I moved to the second round but didn't hear back. I was later told they went with someone else.

I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at CIBC (Toronto, ON) in Mar 2020
Interview
Thorough and detailed, I had to meet with a hiring manager and then with the manager I would have worked with if I got the job. The process was very personable and warm, I felt like I was having just an everyday conversation rather than an interview, I enjoyed the process
