The process took 3 days. I interviewed at CIBC in Apr 2011
Interview
The interview was pretty easy, seriously. They asked questions that were already written on a HR sheet.
They choosed to hire someone else, since they needed someone not just for the summer, but for all the time, and since I'm a student, I didn't knew my school schedule for next autumn at that time...Otherwise, they told me I was a good prospect.

Interview
I applied online, I got a call within the week for a phone interview the following Tuesday in the morning. Tuesday afternoon the branch called me and set up an interview for later in the week. The week after my group interview I got a call and an offer for the job, I accepted. They did a background/reference check, which was rather annoying, but understandable.

What is a company policy at your current job you disagree with?

Interview
I applied for the customer service representative position, and I was contacted (phone) to do an interview within a few days. It was only one interview with two individuals back in the spring of this year. I didn't do much preparation because it was an entry level position. I just tried to brush up on my behavioural questions.
The interview was relaxed and seemed a tad informal actually. It was mostly behavioural and "getting-to-know-you" type questions (about 12 or 13 or so). A couple of knowledge-based questions. I got the offer the next day. The workplace is very structured and rigid. Not a lot of room for flexibility but great people working there.
My advice? Don't sweat it. Just know what you did in your previous job(s) or school experience and somehow tie it in to the customer service position.
