I actually did receive their email on Dec which told me that they will notify my application status within December 2018. But until now, there is no any updates from their team.
So does it mean I am being eliminated in the first stage or they haven't finished the screening process?

I havent receive any apply from CIMB yet. They send me an email that they will notify me the application status within December. But until now, there is no any HR staff contact me.
Does it mean I am being eliminated in the 1st stage?

same goes here. at least notify if we didnt get into next stage

During my phone interview, the HR stated that they would email the result to me wthin 2 weeks if i got through to the next stage. Im not particularly sure if they would email to unsuccessful applicant too. They are busy filtering and assessing candidates for the early april intake. If it stretched beyond the stipulated time i guess it is a fail.

i know right. been thinking the same way too

But there is someone receive the phone interview from HR at the end of January. So, might have the possibility that they didn't finish the interview yet ?

Should call the HR person who contacted you.

Yeap i did the the phone interview on 30th Jan with a chinese lady. Last week is a CNY week so im expecting an email come in by this week if i got thru to the next stage. If you have the number just call after 2 weeks from your previous interview

They just called me today to confirm a date and will send an email. Will be attending the f2f next wednesday. Best of luck everyone!!

Me too i just received a call and made it to the f2f interview on next thursday. Hope to hear bout your experience

Just did the f2f interview today, it was not too shabby, quite the experience as they mostly ask about yourself and what you’ve done. Good luck tmrw!!

Glad to hear back from you. How long did the interview lasts?

About 45 mins or so

Thanks for letting me know. Hope for the best tomorrow

Did the interview tis morning. I did ok but guess i kinda flunked it. Had weak justification for some details in the CV when being asked. I was asked bout the details of the employer project which i have done involving innovative recommendation for a company. The interviewer begin to drill into the details of the innovation, then question on the feasibility and the outcome. Could not justify in positive ways since i did not produce any WOW ideas in the project and i included it in my CV so yeah..

Pass to last stage or not tis is definitely a good experience. Tips to other candidafe, know your CV well as most of the questions will be focusing on you and your experience in life.

Just received an email few days ago saying that I made it through to the assessment day. Will call me to confirm date soon, hope everything goes well and everyone gets through too!!!! fingers crossed

Congrats bro. I didn't receive any email as i already expected the result during the IV day. To me it doesn't seems like a casual chat at all.

It started of casually with the standard question 'tell me about yourself'. Like usual, I talk bout the education and work experience. Then, the moment i said equity research is my motivation from switching work industry, the whole mood starts to get serious. They questioned on my reasoning but at the end they don't buy it. I knew what the job responsibility entails in general, i have clear direction and being ambitious bout it, but to them they're finding people who're willing to take up any role. Welp that's the first blow to my chance.

Interviewers were not impressed at my knowledge either which i did mention about the current banking trend, fintech, cimb innovation, etc etc. They switch the focus to my employer project experience and that ends everything. Every single ideas in the project are being challenged. List out as many pros and cons of that particular idea. Why didn't your idea make it have you thought about it? Which one is your most WOW idea? Would you implement this idea?. It was a project completed two years ago. I admit that it's too general and don't carry the WOW element to be implemented in the business process. They shot these ideas down till the end and left me with no words because from the starts the interviewers already thought that the ideas are dull.

Overall, i felt like I'm sitting for a test and constantly being challenged for sharing my direction and past experience. At one moment i was brought back to that particular project's presentation day. I came unprepared for this question and there's no way to give generic answer. I also didn't prepare to say something like 'I would very much love to work with CIMB because it's one of the largest bank in ASEAN, it won this and that rewards...".

Congrats! Hope all goes well to you.

@Beanster Wait for a few more days and see what happens. Sometimes they take two weeks to respond.

By the way, does anyone what is the updated TCB remuneration package? It's supposedly very competitive.

Heys congrats! How was your interview experience and how did it went?

And do you happen to study at Warwick by any chance (just wondering)? All the best for your interview btw!
