Anyone applied for the finance vacancies back that closed on 13 September 2019? Send in my application on 12/9.

I got a call from the HR just to check like email/phone number/IC no and other basic information on 31/10.

On 1/11 got an email from their HR requesting IC/Results/Current payslip.

Until now no news. Wanted to send a follow up email to the HR but scared later the HR think I'm impatient. ahahhaa

Anyone here waiting for Finance position? Seems like all engineer 😅😅

No i dont. Applying via legitimate channel but the progress is so slow

how do you know u pass the test? result of the test can be seen instantly? coz based on the practice question, i can see whether im right or wrong.

i just receive an email about this online assessment yesterday, need to complete it by sunday.

just did the online assessment today.

manage to answer:

21/24 verbal (last 7 pure tembak)
15/16 numerical (last 4 pure tembak)
10/10 abstract (last 3 pure tembak)

let's say none of my tembak + unattended question all wrong (i hope it's not) and everything before is correct,

14/24 verbal (58.33%)
11/16 numerical (68.75%)
7/10 abstract (70%)

im confident for numerical, but not for abstract and verbal, i hope it's at least 50%.

but from my observation, i might get
12/24 verbal (50%)
10/16 numerical (62.5%)
4/10 abstract (40%)

all at least 50% except abstract.

Recruitment process (I'll quote this process everything I get an update):

12/09/19 - Submitted online
31/10/19 - Called by HR
01/11/19 - Received email from HR requesting payslips, etc
19/12/19 noon - Called by HR, 'Your hiring manager would like to proceed with your resume'
19/12/19 evening - Online assessment email received



is this standard wordings received by everyone, coz it's say to complete online assessment prior attending interview, but didn't say upon successfully passed the online assessment. or im starting to get paranoid.

Finance. Should be petronas as the department stated in the email sent to me is just ‘xxxxx xxxxx - PETRONAS’.

For example

Strategic Finance - PETRONAS

Are u in petronas yet?

by any chance u applying for finance position as well? receive email about 3 weeks after my online assessment.

'your application is processed by batches' - not sure if this means i pass the online assessment. they also put the Batch Number in the email - like Batch 4 Batch 5.

What is tier 1 and G2?

Usually someone with 4-5years experience falls within which tier?

How much would someone in Tier 3 with G2 grade job salary usually be at?

I googled it says around 6.5k-8k. The range is too big. Im from a small company so this amount is definitely twice my current salary. I scared if i ask for 6.5k ill be underpaid whil 8k is a bit too much

Yup. Just had my iv today. It was okay. They got say the amount i ask is a bit higher than what my years of experience will usually get, but then he said ‘just discuss with HR later once they get your offer letter sorted out’

It sounds like they wanted to hire me when he said that, I just hope so.

Interview was super casual, laugh a lot, discussing high school time, talking bout PS2 game...

Now the waiting game began. I did ask when I can get the outcome from the interview, he said ‘within 2 weeks, the HR will communicate with you, but for the offer letter, i think it will take probably 3 or 4 weeks time’

Again...sounds like I’m hired. I just pray hard it’s true.

Ahahaha very scared now got petronas ppl ask me. It was for finance role.

Got an email yesterday (16/3) that I've passed the CBI Assessment Interview.

Interview on Thursday, got the replied email on Monday, i guess that's quite fast.

The next course of action is to issue offer letter should you be recommended for this position - i'm not sure what does this means? meaning the position i might be offered different from the position they offer me during the interview. The interviewer is also my Hiring Manager. anyone has anything to share on this line?

Tried to call the HR since yesterday and today to ask further, no answer, morning, afternoon, evening. I know Petronas staff has been working from home, but the direct line number doesn't connect to their laptop? - idk about Petronas but my current company, it will connect to our laptop/mobile straight away if they call our direct line.

Up until now you do not have any confirmation? The HR did call me just now late evening explaining on what to expect. He did say he cant tell me the specific processing time but roughly in the next 2 weeks he will update me on my process.

Will update here in the next 2 weeks on my process.

Hi. Did u get the info from HR?

I did call the HR that communicate with me earlier April, she said approval from BoD has not been obtained yet. Expect delay until a month or so after MCO. It doesnt only affect me, but it also affected people that went for interview beginning of feb onwards

Ur position is contact or permanent?

Mine is permanent. There’s no slight hint about recruitment freeze from the HR.

update from last March, just got an update that they've gotten approval for my employment. however, the terms have been change from permanent to ONE YEAR contract.

leaving my current job of which I'm a permanent staff to a one year contract position seems like a bit risky, any advice?

i've decided to take the offer. since my pay will be double from current pay. as for future job, as my background is economics, i believe in the future it would be not as competitive as other industry (engineers, etc) in getting a job.

good for you as u still able to get permanent. I was suppose to be hired under permanent, confirmed by the hiring manager and HR during interview, however, when my approval memo gotten back, it was changed to contract due to the business outlook. majority were affected by this (except for graduates from UTP) as per my discussion with HR.

contract hire is not entitled for bonus and claims on professional qualification fees

Before u get the offer letter. They have internal thing on approval memo. I was told i was in for a permanent position, once interview done and they send for final approval, it was changed to contract.

Yours should be permanent then. Mine no mention on probation period. Just contract period

Mine about 1 year wait (due to covid) but recent one that join my dept seems about 1-3 months wait
