Hi all, I went to their interview on Jun 2015 for AML position. I have gone through all stages of the interview and English assessment. In the end, i was required to take another assessment that test yr IQ and investigation skill.

After two weeks, no news from them. I thought I failed. So i continue with my current job and my manager told me that HSBC called him. But still no news from them on my side. After 4 months of waiting, I have gave up and thought i failed the background check. On 2/10/2015, I received call from HSBC at 9pm saying that I got the job. Wow. I was thinking it takes 4 months for them to process an application. So those who apply and hope to get in. Dont gave up so fast. Just wait for it. I told the HR i need one month notice, so she asked me to report to work on 11/11/2015. I was excited actually and very happy that night and I couldn't sleep..

So there are few questions I will like to ask those senior..

1. She said she will email me and ask me to collect the offer letter on this Fri (9/10/2015), but i still have not receive any and so, i not dare to resign yet. I couldnt call the number that she used to call me. Does anyone of you have the number that I can call so that I can reconfirm that I really get the job before I resign?

2) I am not sure the post that I get. Izzit AML or GSE since it has been 4 months probably AML post has been filled in. She didnt tell me what post I get and I was so happy that I forgot to ask her about it.

3) Must I make a medical check up cause she didnt inform me about that too. I know about medical check up by reading this thread.

4) I can speak and read in Chinese, but only simple writing. Will It affect my allowance?

5) Any advice for newbies like me from senior even i have read the thread probably it has outdated and things has changed?

Thanks for reading my looong post.

Like i said you should give them more time to process. Maybe two weeks is not enough for them.

I think do not know the answer is not a big deal unless they are hiring professional. I guess it is more to the way u handle the "dunno how to answer" situation.

Honestly, my cgpa is not very satisfying too... I am at second lower.. Sometimes street smart and confidence is more important.

I am an accounting students and i have 2 years experience in audit and accounting. AML is almost the same with audit. During interview i told them i could apply my knowledge to this post and they did asked how could i apply. I guess payment exec are more to accounting related too. If you are not from accounting, you have to make more research on how payment is done. And yr Maths must be good enough. And you must be details oriented too. Show them that u r the one they looking for. Imagine u r the manager， what kind of person you wan to hire?

And yes, i did save the number. I called but i cant call through.

Ok thanks for the answer. So you are working in hdpm cyberjaya too? Well hope to see you there
