The program says graduate trainee program not Radio Engineer. so not necessary that you must know about GSM. Unless you are a E&E engineer and looking to join Maxis as a radio engineer, then GSM knowledge wud b handy.
I figure for anyone involves in telco, it wud b nice to know what is eTOM. You can find out more about eTOM in wikipedia. and the TeleManagement official site. Its a long shot for someone who dunno know the industry to undstd eTOM juz for interview but read the wiki and get an idea what it is about. It'll also help (as in all graduate trainee/management trainee) program for you to show a little leadership and inniative during interview. |

hahaa.. this is the greatest piece of shit advice you give out here..
how can you be so stereotypical of a company like maxis? do you think everything in there is radio and switches?! QUOTE(beatlesalbum @ Jan 7 2007, 05:45 AM) Read up on GSM technology and mobile switching technology. |

If i am not mistaken, they have renamed MGTP to MMTP right? Does it mean that they want more from non-technical background?

QUOTE(fizzy @ Jun 2 2009, 09:37 PM) no insiders here? Oh don't forget they'll also touch on corporate questions such as who is who in their departments.Be sure to read up the names of their management team. As it was mentioned above, Maxis is not interested in higly technical background candidates. They prefer those who can suggest big ideas on how to make large profits for the company. So if you're good at talking, coming out with ideas on how to mislead or sell their products well then this company is a good place to start your career. The last thing you want to be in this company is to be a straight forward and honest. You'll be killed by the management and all the politics in there before you can settle in the company. |

QUOTE(fizzy @ Jun 5 2009, 12:20 AM) different companies have different ways ma(from my personal experience)...ya it's true that the skill u mentioned is very fundamental,however no everyone possess that(or else everyone would be hired for many people they are always scared of interview, tried not to be scared and be yourself then it would be far more better.  ) there is no one standard way of interviewing, it depends on that interviewer as well, so the best way is be prepared for the job you applied for and show that you are extra more than other candidate |

QUOTE(fizzy @ Jun 6 2009, 06:15 PM) i heard 3.7k large companies tend to be more choosy thus making their interview section more longer than others, but however the paid you got is more as well. add on is that with larger companies you get to be exposed to more prospect than in a small firm. but however that does not mean small firms can't be worked with, working with small firms have lesser pressure and also have more rooms for you to learn things on your own. Added on June 6, 2009, 6:19 pmthe interviewers were very nice but i think i flunk this 3 hours interview. the aptitude test was tough, i didn't talk a lot during team work session and the impromptu speech was hard...all candidates performed better than me...hmm whatever la, i'm tired of attending large companies interview-the process is long and tiring and in the end you get a contract job only(1 or 2 years programme)... Good luck to you all |

So, any degree courses will be accepted too? regardless of weather you are from accounting, engineering or marketing?
Had to try my luck, a second upper to test but it is stated only FIRST CLASS will be considered.. Tough luck!! |

It's a package that they are looking for, with no hard rules. If you are lacking in the academic portion (not first class), then a strong co-curriculum vitae would certainly help. Your passion, life-story and other personality traits are equally as important.
