10. The Job Enlistments subforum allows only 1 BUMP per week. Strictly no bumping in any topics at Job & Careers. Post can be considered as BUMP if the post doesn't hold any information. For example, "No one wanna try ah?", "Anyone?" and et cetera is considered as bump.

Thank you.

Actually my friend didn't expect to be shortlisted because my friend only holds a honours bachelor degree in Biz. Admin majoring in Accounting... normally they would prefer to pick candidates with professional accounting qualification like ACCA/CIMA and has in depth accounting and finance background or experience. But, my friend has been working as an accounts executive in one of a MNC for almost a year now...

Thanks for your advice...will let my friend know about it and hopefully can get it..... biggrin.gif

from what my fren feedback me on working with hsbc, yes fresh graduate easily can get hired and give good salary(starter between +-RM2k if not mistaken), but its incredibly hard to get a pay raise. my fren work there for 2+ years and they only giv him 60 ringgit pay rise? he quit and now works for IBM as a programmer and now earn RM3k+
