I dunno ler... the HR just gave me an envelope which contained only offer letter, I asked her if I need to go for medical check up... she said nope... I'm blur lar... my case is so simple... super simple... same like my intern in one of the big4, where everyone has to go for orientation while, i just appear in work place and already drag to client's place on 1st day working...  shocking.gif

Can I asked to change to Tax dept on 1st day working a???
*
ermm.. not sure ler.. but u can ask HR about this.. for your info, audit and tax are different entity.. i think it would take some time to transfer..

btw, there are a few ppl actually transfered from audit to tax..

Hi everybody, I need advise from u all
I dunno whether to reject IBM offer or not as i'm going to attend last interview. 
Reason of rejecting is they dun have study leave, work as bz as big4, expose in account field only, as they said closing and opening month & quarter year will be peak.

The main reason behind is I need little time only for revise and taking exam. As u know ACCA fall on jun & dec which fall on IBM peak. Most audit firm can have study leave b4 the exam.

If big4 hired, i will not think twice. But dunno IBM can expose much like big4 or not? Lot of my seniors worked there for 1 year then left.

Y dun u pay a visit to K which same building with IBM biggrin.gif

i think with ur qualification should b no prob to enter big4 gua sweat.gif

QUOTE(sweetcat @ Jun 5 2008, 03:11 PM)
Veena,

u sure no problem to handle stress de... hehe biggrin.gif

and like me i m fast coz i just need the approval from my director. if you, i think need the manager/ senoir / a bunch of ppl to evalute then only sent for approval...  blush.gif

dun worry, D HR is good ppl smile.gif

there are a lotz more good ppl besides HR.. LOL laugh.gif

Internet yes. MSN, depending on whether you find workarounds. Sites like Facebook and YouTube are banned in the Big 4 (unless you're a network admin there and are the one actually banning the sites....) however things might shift in the future as more and more businesses start utilising Facebook and YouTube.

Agreed.. tongue.gif
BTW, diff firm would have diff IT policy.. some even restrict forwarded e-mails which contain images, videos.. sweat.gif

It really depends on which of the Service Lines in Deloitte KL you wish to apply to. For example, we may not be the most prestigious Audit firm but we are definitely for Tax. There are also a lot of other qualitative differences (working environment, etc) which are subjective at best. Depends who you ask, they will have a differing opinion on the matter.

QUOTE(mary51 @ Jun 25 2009, 01:32 AM)
Hi there, thanks for your respond. i wrote the post while i was blur and have not yet sleep for whole 9..yeah, what you said is correct, i spell wrongly the name of deloitte. sorry about that. i did know how to spell DELOITTE.

i would like to inform you that regarding what i said, deloitte is stop recruiting, i am not heard from rumors but it did state in the website that there is no vacancy in deloitte malaysia at the moment.

my cgpa is above 3.75, i do not know does it consider high. however, i do believe there are many of first class students in the market. PWC did call me for a tele-interview, but i guess the call was not at the right time, while i was busy with my presentation, thus, i just simply answer the question, used the short and simple answer. therefore, i think i was failed to impress the HR executive.

yea, i know about the essay test, i did it at KPMG last time. If i decided to join back KPMG last august when they offered me , my salary would be RM2,700. however, obviously i did a wrong decision that rejected to join them back.

and i do realize about i have to improve my english level after i joined KPMG. i will attend the British council English course soon.

i grew up at a rural area, which does not emphasize english at all, i regret about why i didn't realize and learn English properly last time.  cry.gif i am the only one can speak English in the home....so i have no one can practice to...maybe u will say i could practice with my friends, but most of them only speak mandarin in the university, only if there is presentation they will use English, otherwise, normal conversation if i speak English , they will LOOK at you... shakehead.gif thought u r showing off. sigh.

regarding the extra-curricular, just to be frank , i do not have, only those compulsory i have. maybe as 1 of the participant of National Service program could be considered as ?

and BDO didn't invite me for an interview session is because they said 1 of their requirement is SPM Englsih score A. that 's why, i failed. but my coursemate who scored B can get in there, because he applied earlier, and he is ex-vt there. so the executive said they give excuse to those VT.


anyway, i agree that English is really important, tat's y i even hope if i were English educated, like those 'banana'. although my friend who is banana keep comforting me that, i should be indebted because i can read, write and speak chinese. however, if i can choose, i wish to be English educated.
thank you for all the responses.

well.. u may try to apply Deloitte again mid/end of next month.. may hav vacancy on tat time.. wink.gif
