Perhaps u can share some of ur experience.

What is ur qualification BTW. Just for the record.

Tomorrow will go for conference call (about 10-15mins), then can go home already.

T_T Aiks, have to go for so many rounds to get myself hire. Why my recruitment process not like weileongz one, his one finished in a day le.

Jia you ah legolego xiao jie Wish you all the best

I think maybe HSBC in Taiwan wanna check our capability of chinese speaking skills as Malaysia Mandarin and Taiwannese Pu Tong Hua might be different. I am not so sure. This is first time I heard GSE got a confra call interview. Do update us the outcome.

Haha call me xiao jie pulak.

I think Malaysia Mandarin and Taiwannese Pu Tong Hua is the same lo. But for China people one will be difficult. They ask about how to write my chinese name, my family, my job experience, do I know about Taiwan, name one Taiwan star's name and how to write it in chinese, ask me whether I know hokkien and test my hokkien (but my hokkien is in beginner level so I can only answer the 2 sentence out of 4). Today got fill in the Health Paper and Fact Sheet. But result will be released next week.

Hope I will get lo.

Hey, I'm an ex-staff... Was in HDPM between April 05- November 05... Reason for leaving: Had a better offer in my hometown..

Experience: HDPM is unique. You'd immediately feel 'at home' with the whole environment. You'd feel as though you're back in college... Well, at least the first 3 weeks of induction gave me that kind of feeling.. Once you're serving on the floor, it's no longer honeymoon. I was attached to XXX call centre... (rather not identify it)

Things I miss about HDPM:
1. Friends. Especially induction bathmates..
2. Waffles
3. Free Milo/Nescafe/carbonated drinks all day long!
4. 'KILL THE QUEUE'!!!! XXX call centre was initially doing rather bad, with overflowing calls queuing up, and SLA flashing RED most days... Heard it's doing better now..
5. Cancer Zone - Smoking is the best session during the 9 hours shift, and especially the marathon-smoking during 15 minutes break
6. The ride from KL Sentral to Cyberjaya in Bas Kilang!

And these are my thoughts about HDPM:
Pros:
1. FABULOUS starting ground for fresh graduates (if you don't mind getting paid the same as SPM leavers who has experience/retirees/homemakers who speaks good English)
2. It's a good training ground, to develop yourself as an EMPLOYEE, and as a person (I used to be HOT TEMPERED, but working in XXX call centre has somehow toned me down)
3. A good example of what a MNC is. You bump into your VP, and chit chat like friends. It's the little things that matters. HDPM's management doesn't create any gap/border between staff and also the management side.

Cons:
1. You'd most likely be working during Malaysian public holidays, and not get paid OT/Double/whatever (I hope this has changed)
2. You work 5 days a week, but your off days are not nescessarily on weekends (especially if you're in call centre). Worse still, the operation's management might just break your off days apart, instead of giving you 2 days back-to-back (for whatever justification they have).
3. Cyberjaya is not easily accessible if you don't have your own transport. If you miss your bus, be prepared to spend a bomb getting a taxi to HDPM/KLIA express.
4. The journey is too long from pick-up point to HDPM. (Well, at least for MOST of the pick-up-points). This means, even though you're working 8am-5.30pm, be prepared to wake up as early as 5.30/6, as you gotta be at the pick-up-point at least by 7am or else the driver would just leave you behind. By the time you finish work at 5.30pm, be prepared to get stuck in traffic jam, which would ultimately lead you into reaching home at 7-plus/8pm.. Yeah, you spend more than 12 hours of your time travelling+working.

Well, all in all it was a great 7 months for me in HDPM!!

Anyone got call from HR to attend interview, please share your experience here so that other will have some idea and information what to prepare and etc...

mayday mayday, I will be attend the assessment at HSBC tomolo. I had apply GSE for taiwan process. The person had called me just now. Bu t i think I had being panic and nervous so the it looks screw up... I would like to know what assessment will they have it? Can the present GSE provide some tips? thank you thank you.
I am thinking of changing my line from design to customerservice after getting my degree(general degree)...So anyone can providee their help? Thank you veru much...

I apply for this position too.

The assessment is like this.

First, you will be given a written test which consists of article with questions and 3 questions about yourself. This written test have to be answered in chinese.

Then, interview lor, the interviewer interviewed me in english and mandarin language.

Hope it helps.

wor, like that ar....what the interviewer will ask? and the whole proccess takes how long....I never attend interview in a MNC....now quite nervous oso...normally what the interview will ask?

dont know if its suitable to ask here or not
do they have support for India?

my company is switching to HSBC,
but then again, its linked with Hong Kong HSBC
but but then then again n again, my company is in Malaysia
and then, im working in India

complicated heh?
thats y i need support

Hm, if you have gone through any industrial training, he will ask you lor. Also depends what's in your resume.

Then, he will ask why do you apply this job while it is nothing related to your studies, wat's the problem you may counter when you deal with taiwan customers etc. I dunno whether the questions will be the same or not for the candidates.

About the duration of the interview, depends lo. If you talk a lot and got many questions to ask, for sure the interview will be long. But it is good to ask them questions so that you can get a better understanding about the position.

They are friendly one. So don't worry

i got the job offer too... but at the same time i am waiting for other jobs offer... i heard from my agency that saying something i am in the pioneer group ( taiwan line )... something like there is a great opportunity that we can climb to higher position after working in there for 1 year++ ...
