I'm going for an interview with iCIMB for a post of Electronic Banking Officer on contract basis. Anyone has any idea about this company?
Is working on contract basis is ok?

contract after 6 mth/1 yr u will be out of a job.

This is for 1 year contract. Is there any possibility they will continue the contract or take us into permanent position?

u wont know until u join.

some company have contrak for project purpose.

some use contract for staff for 1st year and later extend, or convert to perm.

i dunno CIMB so i cannot tell u.

contract staff means after certain period no job... jobless

So am i advisable to take this job? I'm quite interested but i'm afraid since I dont have any experience working on contract basis.

A quick question. Are you working now? If not, then why not give it a try? Why worried about whether got job or not after 6 months / 1 year?
If someone perform well, I don't see any reason why the boss won't want to continue using you.

How is the interview would be? can anyone give some insight?

I think interview would be similar to CIMB Bank. You will do some IQ/Objective question and a few subjective. Then interview by the department that hiring you. If they want you, you will go last round interview with HR (which generally means you pass already).

I heard these day they are taking ppl into iCIMB instead of CIMB ..

icimb is backend processing

it's not like cimb

icimb supports cimb like doing cheque processing, etc.

i was offered a job immediately after interview but declined it. just talking during interview. no tests

icimb office is at near menara tm/ kerinchi LRT.
the people th ere were walking aroundi n slippers, wearing working clothes
very laid back

and i think very little opportunities for growth

wearing slippers is it due to sembahyang time? I think it is normal for Malay folks.

sorry to revive this. is there any ICIMB? I couldn't find any thread similar to this.

I beg to differ.

There is a staff, who worked as contract basis for the first year, in a Japanese MNC. The HR promised to convert to permanent after the contract ended, and told the staff if performance is good, nothing to worry about.

But after 1 year, this staff's contract gonna extended for 1 more year, though getting B+ in the MBO.

@debbiesys
meaning the staff has failed to meet expectations of the hiring manager

If its says 6 months contract and I am very sure 6 months no ups no downs.

Unless you can sell your self in that 6 months , yeah the chances are They Might take U.
So , technically 6 months, but its UP 2 u how U want to Progress

All The Best

Hope someone can answer this thread.

Got an interview from iCIMB, actually called by them asking whether I am interested or not. Due to lousy signal, I barely could hear them speaking to me.

I am with engineering background but I dont know where I can fit in them.

Anyone please enlighten me ?
