Jurong branch. I open mine with IPA letter.

thanks for sharing. now i get a better idea.

well i could be wrong because i once attended a career talk conducted by HR folks in those BBs.. and they said the interns usually perform simple office admin work and even to the extent of buying/making coffee for their bosses. but they never rely the interns to do real work.

i thought its fair enough to hire someone with first class results to do those minor work at $8K.. especially in this amazing industry.

6 years ago, I opened mine at POSB Ngee Ann City with only my passport and a letter from my company. Not sure though whether that included the IPA or not. I didn't bother to read the documents in the envelope my HR guy gave me to show the bank.

Ic. I opened mine last 2 or 3 weeks with IPA letter and passport at POSB jurong.

hi there, just wanna ask if someone here know about this..

*actually, i'm quite noob here.. sori

If you're the hiring manager in a bulge bracket bank, and you agree to pay $8K for an intern... why?

It's a 6 month job interview lah. The big salary is motivation for the interviewee to go all out during those 6 months, so that the hiring manager can see the real extent of his capabilities and make the right decision whether to hire him as permanent staff later on. But you're right that these banks are an "amazing" industry. No other company will approve this kind of budget.

ezlink is a must for taking mrt? can't buy ticket with cash? thx

ive got my IPA after 3 days

anybody has any idea how much the medical check-up will cost me?

Can use season pass, ezlink, credit card with ezlink feature. Else buy ticket with cash at the machine. $1 refundable deposit per ticket.

Last time SMRT share holder can buy special season pass. Not sure if they still have it.

Went for medical check up yesterday for MOM and company pre-employment. They did ask me to declare if i'm a smoker or not.

So scared then wanna smoke some more?

i would definitely wanna see the personality of my potential staff. that is one very important thing. if he cant even handle those simple tasks without complaining then what more can i expect from him to perform other important tasks?

my perception is that everyone can actually work in those BBs, not just elites. because its not some rocket science work. so if i want to hire you, i would have need to make sure you are the right person with the right personality that i am looking for. if you dont have the skills or knowledge, i can always train you. but i cant train or change your attitude/mindset.

however the stiff competition today has made it so tough that they are now hiring only the cream of the crop.

you do have a point there. the company should use this opportunity to assess the candidate. i appreciate for your input as didnt thought of that. thanks for the enlightenment, and sorry if i am digressing

ask u orally or written form?

About 50++

I thought medical checkup is sponsored by company?


BTW, guys, is Boon Keng nice to stay?
Anyone stay in Boon Keng? How;s the environment there?

Not sure if I can claim back with the invoice.

During the medical checkup will ask u orally...then from your given answer they will tick a Yes or No in the smoker checkbox....also at the end of that medical checklist..you will have to SIGN for it....so u can't blame anyone for either putting false values/heard wrongly from your end.

wats wrong wif smoking ?

Doesnt your company have a panel of approved clinics where you just make an appointment with the clinic for your medical check up?

Looks like no standard company.

actually i not yet do the medical test, just that i tick No during interview..i think i will honest to MOM later. hopefully the HR didnt concern about it la.
