Hi, i will be attending an interview with GE for the FMP next week. I was wondering if anybody has been to such interview before...? I have several questions here:

1. I'm from outstation you see, may i know where exactly is GE Malaysia located at?

2. What will i be expecting from such interview? What sort of questions and how should i prepare myself to attempt them?

3. In terms of industry, what industries are there available in GE Malaysia?

4. Since it's a finance program, does the industry matters? Will i be made to choose an industry?

5. I see myself doing advisory stuff in years to come. How can i go about in evaluating which industry suits me better?

I'm a fresh grad and am very unwary in making choices, therefore i seek the many advices. Thank you very much. Your reply is truly appreciated

Hi Sarah!

I'd be glad to answer some of your questions, though like you, I'm a fresh grad as well. FYI, I'm set to enroll in GE Malaysia's OMLP this coming July.

If I'm not mistaken, there are 3 main locations for GE Malaysia. 1st, in Kuala Lumpur (KL). 2nd, in Subang. While the 3rd one is in Kota Tinggi, Johor. GE KL is the headquarters, I guess they have the office for the oil & gas industry there. It's located near KL Sentral. GE Subang is in the aviation industry while GE Kota Tinggi is part of GE Energy. GE Kota Tinggi is also known as GEMAC (GE Malaysian Appliance Components).

The interview questions are basically straightforward, nothing much technical. Based on my experience, some of them could be:
a. Why are you interested? Tips: Show your passion.
b. Can you cope with the pressure. Tips: Always answer yes & give evidence as to why you think so.
c. They will ask about your experience related to the post. Tips: You can pick from your internship experience.
d. What's your strength & weakness. Tips: Answer by giving examples. For weakness, show that you're trying to improve in that sense.
e. They would want you to ask them questions as well. Tips: Be passionate.
Whatever your answers are, make them sound smart & always have CONFIDENCE. That's the main ingredient.

As for questions 4 & 5, you can ask the interviewers yourself. You'll be able to show that you're very interested to know more about the FMP. No doubt, they will be glad to guide you.

Good luck!

Hi Sarah, have you made it to fmp?

Gunnermania, there will be how many stages of the whole interview process?

Hi all, I will be attending an interview with GE for FMP (Financial Management Program). I am thinking is anybody here has been to this interview? I have tried hard to google-out, nothing much information found and dunno what to prepare for it. Will highly appreciate for the reply, comments and shares! 
1. How many stages we need to go through for the whole process of interview? Normally how long it will take from 1st interview until we got to know we get hire?

2. Is there any technical test like: writing, presentations, business proposals, budget, forecasting, convincing assessors speaking test, case study, financial knowledge, news or comments about global economics and etc something that requires us to be well prepare?

3. What will them expecting from us as a candidate? What sort of questions and how should I prepare myself to attempt and excel it?

4. How much is the starting salary offer to graduate joining FMP? Any increment throughout the 2years period? What are the benefits as a GE employee?

5. I understand that this is a two years program which successful candidates will undergo job rotations across four divisions. So, are we allowed to select which divisions that we are interested to go for? And if this is a yes, we can choose divisions within Malaysia only, or Southeast Asia? (Because the invitation email I received was sent from Singapore GE, but the interview will conducted at KL). I get confused.

a. Another sub question, the whole program will base in Singapore or Malaysia?


6. Since it is rotated every six months under this program, I would like to know what we need to prepare with the accommodations, visas, legal working authorization and other arrangements for us for being mobile around different countries. Is this rotation per 6months only applicable during these two years FMP, or it would be the same way for long term after FMP?

7. What is the outcome and opportunities after joining FMP for two years? Will I be allocated to one of the division that I have gone through; or it will be subjected to management decisions? Normally what type of position we will get after taking FMP?

8. Comparing this FMP to Big4 advisory (75% can get), which would be a better choice to go for? I am having dilemma in making decisions and it has been two months I struggling.

I would love to get helpful feedback from everyone. I'm starting to lose nights of sleep pondering this issue whilst lying on my bed. =/
