which 1 u sent ur resume to?? P, K, E, D ???

If I'm not wrong some of the local Big 4s have an online recruitment form for you to fill up. Either that or get someone from the forums to pass in your resume for you. I've done it before for a few forum-ers.

sent my resume to K (thru online), E (thru ACCA Career Fair) and D (thru online)
but get none reply from them..

other than that, i've sent to other medium + small firm on last Friday.. but still no reply.. sob sob..

my plan to start work on Aug habis lioa.. hahaha.. i've been ukur tanah for 1 month+...gotta ukur tanah again.. lolz

thanks guys for ur kind reply!

why u didnt send to P?? P replied me before when i sent thru online also last time.

i have been waiting for big4 reply also. but guys. how long will normally E and P reply?

i have 3 offer from small firms now. but all pay 1.5k only, is it under-paid?
or that is the market rate for fresh???

Usually a month or so.... RM 1.5k is definitely under paid for fresh grad in Big4. Not too sure about smaller firms though.

I think it is. small firms in Klang Velley seems to be around 1.8k, so 1.5k is very low.

yup.. my fren already "survey" the market pay offered by small firms.. the most that he can get is RM1.6k only..

as im not confident to pass all my papers in June 2008, i have changed my mind to work in small or medium firm first.. rather than working in Big4..

the market pay for small firm is around 1.3-1.6k depending on your area. you might get 1.8k if lucky.
i found that your situation is quite similar with me. perhaps you could try to apply medium firm as what i did.
yes P is very strict in recruitment. i din't even get called for interview

hmm.. im really in dilemma for almost a month plus.. duno shud go which path..

btw.. u applied in which medium firm? succeed to get in or not?

thanks ya!

Agree ! No one could leave without inform the senior. But they dont care much about the intern. Better enjoy this moment.

When did you send in your applications to the each of the Big 4? Typically the Big 4 have a response time of 2-4 weeks to decide though alot also depends on the person who'll eventually be your boss. If they don't feel they have the right person yet they might wait longer before confirming. BTW, what position did you apply for?

RM1,500 is low. That was starting pay for many fresh grads 8-10 years ago... after factoring the kadar inflasi (even at Malaysia's suspiciously low average of 4-6%), the NPV for that now should be a fair bit higher (not that I actually remember how to calculate NPV anymore).

i applied for Audit Assistant position as i am a fresh grad.

erm.. sent my application about 1 or 2 weeks ago.. cant really remember it exactly..
so far, only K replied me.. but i've been rejected..


btw.. wanna ask something off topic here.. i've gotten an email reply from one of the firm, and this firm asked me to call them back to arrange for interview.. Normally, company will call the candidate right??
I was thinking whether that company want to save telephone calls? lolz

Which firm is this? Well, candidates should also show some initiative and call them back - imagine everyone believes the same as you, HR will be stuck making dozens of calls a day just for this. It's probably not the most cost effective way to do things - especially since arranging for recruitment interviews is just about 10% of their work.

yerp was at the interview on thursday, 17th. same here as well, got a director interviewing me.

wasn't really something out of ordinary, but u need to be confident and always remember to smile and start and end with a firm handshake with your interviewer.

me too, see u on the 28th when we collect our offer letters

i understand that EY has two main offices, one at the menara millenium(audit,tax) and jalan sultan ismail for transaction advisory(is it?). so,if i accept the main office at menara millenium,is there any transport to go there or any convenient per entry parking fee ,coz if im driving,i think its difficult to get parking there with per entry fare..

REALLYYYYYYYYYYY?!?! I find that EXTREMELY surprising considering that there's an open air car park there that most EY staff use. Maximum RM 7 per day. Other modes of transport = bus, but don't ask me what number.

everyone here discuss on big 4 and some of it on BDO..anyway,any experience or working environment in Grant Thornton? the salary range? is it unpopular firm that i think none of you all mentioned it

SJGT is not unpopular. Its just not in the Big 4. As you can see the title of the thread its "Big 4 recruitment drive". SJGT is a medium sized audit firm and thus does not fall under the category of Big 4.

thot so,yet, people are discussing BDO here which out of the big 4 also..but i seldom heard grads working here..
