hpm...so u suggest me to call HR? Will they get annoyed if I keep pushing them ? And one more thing, do they know my status if my application form still in Upper level management 's hand?


haha...sorry, too much questions here.....Kinda desperate ..

nah, im not used to take fat bonuses, most is 1 month only, maybe still fresh (almost 2 years).
I believe I will be station in Masjid Jamek there, hope is with CIMB group/or investment ...haha


How about their staff FD rate, loan benefits?

hi cutegurl,

oh dear, i hope you didn't accidentally pissed off your future departmental peers. even if the person is just an admin assistant, he/she can be a crucial gatekeeper for new staff.

one thing that i've noticed, cimb hr seems to have reasonable clout at recommending candidates.

so the right person for you to call is not the hiring department pic, but rather call into hr and enquire.
be reminded again that their hr can be like a huge maze.. for instance, there can be 5 hr people handling one candidate (can you imagine the confusion?)

of course, expansion of profit and reduction of cost, if can be executed both in harmony, are the best mixes any company would like to start off with. but it's always a difficult balance to keep..

just be realistic with your expectation there.. yeah? unless you're used to taking in fat bonuses, it's unlikely anything that'll thrill you (remember, bonuses are also a cost to the company, yes?)

where will this position be stationed? which location i mean?

for other benefits.. i look for something like 16% epf contribution (not many companies offer this).. and mind you, it's significant to me (at least).. this is to begin with.

hi,

from what i gathered so far, you only have one question.. the ultimate question..
"am i the one?"
... the other questions are just axillary (like when and what)

well, nobody should stop you from calling anybody in cimb. rhetorically, you can even call the ceo if you have his contact. what i mentioned to you is based on my observation and experience.

for example, at my former company, the immediate supervisor has a very significant influence to the hiring candidates and hr just played the admin role.

actually if u havent really interviewed by HR, its kinda hard to know the status. so long as the department accepted u, hr shouldnt be of any problem. if up to u whether u wanna bug them or not, or who, bcoz anywhere u go.. u wouldnt know the ppl that you bug will like ur bug or not, some good some bad ppl out there, we just wouldnt noe.

and for 16% epf.. no more lor under cimb ppl get 12%, 16 for those old staff oni as of now. fd rate u got +1%, conventional acc also +1%, loan is 4% on reducing balance(after calc its roughly 2.1%) blush.gif

argh...
you hoping get call from HR, while im already got the call from HR.
i was offered as account post in the CIMB group at the HQ. the HR called and ask me to go to panel clinic to do medical checks up.

wired thing is, the HR told me not to tender letter yet, as she said pending the medical report result.

but im not so sure what im really what. im also got another offer from Japanese Construction company and on Thursday interviewed at Perodua which most likely will get the offer.

what shd i do now? can i hold up the CIMB and the japanese co while waiting offer from Perodua? omg, im thinks im quite likes perodua as im drive Myvi... doh.gif

medical report is the last process to confirm the deal. no company will want an unhealthy staff. it's a vlid procedure. so, hold on to your resignation until you get a clean bill on your medical report. cimb group worth a try. good luck to you.

hi cutegurl,

yes, the line can be very difficult to get through (especially during business hours)..
i kept the "redial" button handy myself every time i call back then..
you just have to keep trying..

unless i know who's the hr person you spoke to, there's little that i can assist you..

hi aarex,

most large companies today would require a basic medical check up prior to employment to weed out potential drug abusers (that's the primary concern, am not too sure about other substance abuses)
