Hi, I got a call today for the Graduate Leadership Programme which will commence in January 2009. Anyone been for that interview in the past?

Candidates will be rotated within all the dept's for 6 months before being absorbed into one of the dept's.

I guess you are right. I have a question here. I just got a job offer from ENSR, an environmental engineering company yesterday. I have an interview with WD on monday for the graduate leadership program. If i were to get WD offer too, which would be a better choice if i were to compare both in terms of career advancement?

ENSR- Environmental Engineer, travelling a lot
WD- graduate leadership program, got classroom sessions and exams too.

I only got second class upper. Nothing special

I've been waiting for a job since June but there was no reply. Now suddenly so many coming at the same time

Yes, i'm leaning towards the environmental thing too due to:

-S/c industry is doing badly in US. It hasn't really hit Malaysia fully.
-Environmental is still quite new here but it is doing very well overseas.
-ENSR i have the chance to travel around.

After all, both are US based companies and ENSR is doing much better than WD. I also checked Forbes website and it seems that WD stocks are dropping while ENSR is rising.

Well, i will go for the interview in WD anyway. Just have a look at what it's all about.

I applied for some other position actually but i got called for this. I don't even know whether it is a good program.

Just came back from the interview. The Graduate Leadership program seems to be not bad too. 6 months training in various depts, remaining 6 mths in a particular dept. Results will be known by Friday. They are picking 15 out of 60-70 candidates. Hard choice for me to decide between ENSR and WD if i get WD offer.

Don't think so. There are plenty of vacancies in their website.

Btw, i just signed the offer letter for Graduate Leadership Program today.

Nope, 1 year including the 6 months training. Some say good, some say not good. Why you say not good?

One reason i heard it's boring.

The link did not say which plant exactly is closing. How do you know it's Sarawak? I knew it the 2 weeks holiday in December had smtg to do with the economic problem.

Guess what? I just got a damn bad news. GLP program has to be put on hold to may be July. It's due to the link kucingfight shared here. They told i can leave if i get a better offer although i've signed the contract because the company is in a bad state. The 7 selected for GLP are on waiting list now. Employments are halt and VSS are already offered to many staffs.

Just great, i turned down another offer to accept GLP. I'm back to square 1 now.

I can't stay at home for another 6 months anymore. I need to find some other job before GLP resumes. It's a good program but only thing the timing is bad.
