hi there, since when u applied the job?my friend and i did apply,but no news also,we tot btmh is not recruiting at the moment.

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. 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... 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.

reply:

thanks for your advices. erm, i did not call HR deloitte as i received their email stated there, if there is vacancy and if i have been shortlisted for a position with the Firm , they will contact me.

yeah, i am trying to improve my English level so that i could proficient in it.

Yeah, i guess i am a nut because i rejected KPMG. so many people wish to join them. However, to me, if the environment is not good or maybe the department culture is not suit me, i will not force myself to be work there. as it is very important that to have a nice working culture or maybe culture which suit me. the department i worked there (cannot state the name of the department) , it is really .....if you are in that department, probably wont be long also...haha, as almost all my seniors left already within a year...

yeah, i did a big mistake which i failed to show my keen to join the firm.

i am thinking about, is my resume too long....3pages....my friend told me maybe something wrong with my resume.

anyway, i will try my best again..

yeah, you are right. that was my big mistake. however, i cannot backward-looking, even thought i regret. therefore, i have to forward-looking.

actually my personal think that, CGPA is not important compare to English. thats' why i never think that with high CGPA will be an advantage to me.

so to me, it is not surprising if your friend who with CGPA 3.50 can get into big 4.. because my friend with CGPA above 3.2 already can enter big 4. my friend told me that the minimum CGPA is above 3.2 for big 4. thus, to add value will be the english and co-curriculum.

my friends who good command in English, had won loreal brainstorming competition lately. although their CGPA might not very high, but their communication skills are really admirable... they could use a very pretty sentence to express themselves. obviously , firms are hunting those people.


yeah, i will put more efforts to look for a job.. , there must be a firm who can contain me. ,thanks for all the advices and responses. appreciated. i just noticed about the forum this few days, i never know that i can learn more and get more information from the forums. Really thank you.
