Superday fit interview

A longer senior session with a director or MD closing the superday

What they actually ask

The question shapes this round uses. Larpy does not read these out. It builds each one from your own resume, because the generic version is the one you have already rehearsed.

  • “Walk me through your resume, and tell me what you actually did.”
  • “Why CIBC, and why not another bank?”
  • “Tell me about a time you handled pressure or competing priorities.”
  • “Tell me about a time you worked with a difficult person.”
  • “Where do you see yourself in a few years?”
  • “What questions do you have for me?”

What this round is judged on

  • Motivation · a durable, specific 'why CIBC'
  • Maturity · ownership and self-awareness in your stories
  • Culture fit · someone a senior banker would staff
  • Communication · consistent, structured answers across the day

What happens in each stage›
Application (Workday)
Online via CIBC's Workday campus portal: a two-page resume, a one-page cover letter and a transcript, all as PDF.
Assessments (pre-recorded video interview)
CIBC's own hiring page lists pre-recorded video interviews among its assessments. One-way and timed, behavioral: tell me about yourself, why banking, why CIBC.
First-round interviews
A casual recruiter screen (about 15 minutes) plus one or two 30-minute sessions with an analyst and an associate. Fit-heavy, with light technicals; expect why-banking asked several ways.
Superday
Back-to-back interviews escalating in seniority, ending with a longer session with a director or MD. The opener is behavioral; the later portion turns technical, still at analyst depth.
Offer + background check
Turnaround from first interview to decision is reportedly fast, roughly two weeks.
