I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at CIBC (Vancouver, BC) in Oct 2015
Interview
Prescreening was via online application, closing date was rather arbitrary as a previous position was filled before the substation deadline. Stage 1 interview was over the phone with HR , with a final interview in person at the branch with 2 managers. I was phoned within 1 day with their decision

Question 1
Have you ever met your target and how did you meet it?
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at CIBC (Toronto, ON) in Jun 2016
Interview
The interview process was fairly long, lasted almost 75-80 minutes. The questions asked were mostly based on technical aspects of the role, knowledge of the finance sector and previous experiences in similar roles. Basically went over whole points on the resume, touching each task I did in previous roles. Interviewer was very friendly explained a lot about what they do, what they want the candidate to do, expectations, day in the job..etc. Behavioural questions or questions based on soft skills weren't there as I was interviewed by the Senior Finance Manager.
