I applied online. I interviewed at CIBC in Sept 2016
Interview
Applied online and was contacted a few weeks later to come in for an interview. The interview was with a senior manager and lasted just over half an hour. Was contacted about 3 weeks later to be informed that they had moved forward with a different candidate. I felt like the interview went quite well and I believe I was qualified for the role based on my education, however my lack of relatable work experience may have held me back.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Interview began with questions regarding my resume, so education and work experience. Then moved on to behavioural questions and had to provide specific examples of how I have reacted or would react in different scenarios or situations. Was asked the pretty typical questions like why do you want to work here, etc.
I applied online. I interviewed at CIBC (Whitehorse, YT) in Oct 2025
Interview
Pretty basic; many questions were about if I am legally allowed to work in Canada and if I have any connections to the city. Mostly behavioral questions about why cibc and why commercial banking.
Online interview with three different people of varying rank and roles. They were more interested in me as a person versus my overall skills as there was case study to do for the next step of the process.

Question 1
You are very busy with your day to day and a project that you are nearing a deadline for. Someone else comes and asks you to work on a critical job but you are already at your max workload. How do you respond?
I applied online. I interviewed at CIBC (Langley, BC) in Sept 2025
Interview
firstly, they prefer fresher from SFU and UBC. First would be to get invited to a mixer/Mingler where you will meet the rest of the team. if you’re able to create an impression you’ll be called for a second interview, which is a case study. It was a difficult case study, but all you need to do is show them how you handle pressure and tough situations.
