The process started with an online application, followed by an initial screening or contact from the recruitment team. I then had a virtual interview in January for a similar role, which gave me a good understanding of CIBC’s Imperial Service model. More recently, I was contacted again — this time directly by the Advisor Support Manager — and we had a follow-up interview, which went really well.
Now I’ve been invited to the in-person final round, where I’ll be meeting with both the Advisor Support Manager and the Community General Manager. I’m very excited about this opportunity and appreciate how thoughtful and people-focused the process has been.
