      Financial Services Representative Interview

      Aug 29, 2019
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      Toronto, ON
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at CIBC (Toronto, ON)

      Interview

      You're apparently applying for an FSR position for product assistance, however, its really just an inbound sales job. There is no real type of interview if you pass the initial phone screen. You're just brought first into a room with a recruiter for a few minutes who will try to talk down your previous work experience (even though your previous job may have paid more), and then you're brought into a waiting room to speak with a hiring manager with a bunch of others candidates waiting to speak with a hiring manager. Eventually, you get to speak to someone, and are given a computer, shown 3 credit card products off of the CIBC website, and are then asked to simulate an inbound call with the purpose of converting a call into a sale. I was asked to try to upsell one of the 3 products in a situation where the caller is calling in due to their credit card being declined. I found this whole business practice and candidate screening process questionable, and even more ridiculous to have someone try to sell a product after looking at a screen for 2 seconds.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      How can you convert someone who is calling in due to their credit card being denied, into a sales lead?

      Average interview

      Application

      I interviewed at CIBC (Lethbridge, AB)

      Interview

      Really quick. There wasn’t a lot of questions and I was contacted each week. It was quite short and they really needed people. Most of the questions were basic and focused on customer service rather than balancing.

      Difficult interview

      Application

      I interviewed at CIBC (Toronto, ON)

      Interview

      Just asked to do the assessment task and failed me. This has been happening with the CIBC since 2 years despite getting interviews from other banks. I don't know what could be the problem.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Just general questions and finish a task by the end of application.
