I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at CIBC in Apr 2014
Interview
Just had a phone interview with CIBC hr person, a lot of questions about sales. What would you do to meet sales target? Have you had sales targets before? How do you handle rejections? They went through my job history and asked specific questions about each of them. Nothing too difficult or intimidating. They triple make sure that you are available to work during the time of operation and make commitment for at least a year. In person interview tomorrow. They told me that there will be a role play, to promote 3 different types of credit cards.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
When was the last time you influenced a coworker/ colleague/ friend? How did you do it? Be specific.
Quick and easy. Was smooth as I knew the manager ( met her at my previous job). Would recommend to apply on careers page. Good company to work for. Ueuej
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.
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.
