How do i apply for a postion at CIMB ? im going to be a fresh grad this coming August, should i go for the complete bankers program or should i just apply whatever banking service that i am interested in.

QUOTE(lwb @ Jun 8 2008, 11:33 AM) hi nabelon, hi lwb,what would you consider your strength areas? prior to this, have you worked in any organization(s) before?  thanks for replying to my query. Well i don't have any prior banking experience as i am going to be a fresh grad this coming august and my only strength is my cgpa and that is pretty much what i have because i believe that my prior work experience as a transportation clerk and petrol pump attendant is not significant as both were done during the holiday break before continuing my study.

QUOTE(lwb @ Jun 10 2008, 01:48 AM) hi nabelon, well if you put it that way, i am fond of computers and erp systems. Furthermore i love to try thinking out of the box and thrive for continuous improvement by always centering my focus on three things 1. reducing cost 2.human relations 3.problem solving. could those be considered as skills ? or maybe i should take bout i wont stop till i find the solution to my problems and i can work overtime no problemo permitted im being paid ?academic strength is never a real strength in the real working world.. (perhaps it can be used as a sort of leverage) a strength is about your own ability (not what sort of occupation you once had).. if you can identify your strength, you can sell them at an interview.. that's where you can fly during an interview.. flying ace. trust me, banking experience is never a pre-requisite to be successful at a banking career. it's your ability to know who you are and what you can contribute..

QUOTE(lwb @ Jun 11 2008, 08:52 PM) hi nabelon, im sorry if i went out of the topic but what work skills do i have if im just a fresh grad who never worked in a office before. If they want specific skills, that would be computer literacy , the ability of trading commodities (CPO)[my uncle used to trade it,i was involved] and the understanding of harbor related operations that is full of unusual revenue source (demurrage and etc). Would those be considered as skill lwb ? im sorry if i sound stupid but i have zero work experience except for manual labor.strength is an action attributes.. what you list down there are "huge-sounding" labels.. unless you've successfully executed a money savings exercise (e.g. managed to reduce 15% monthly overhead cost in paper usage via successful enforcement of paper recycling efforts and inculcating a environmentally friendly awareness within my department/unit within the first quarter of implementation) freshies like you seldom can say something like this because you don't have the loa(level of authority) to drive such initiatives.. being "fond" of something display interest.. whether it is relevant(in business terms) or not, it's another dimension altogether... furthermore, i asked about "strength".. and you go and talk about "skill".. already keluar tajuk. it means you don't even understand a basic question.. or you have poor listening/reading skills.. usually.. that's where your interview will "fail"... and you'd be mentally kiv-ed.  Added on June 11, 2008, 8:55 pmchester... msb is not huge. ccard takes out 1 floor where as islamic/boardroom takes out another.. which left 4 to go. let me know if my calculations are incorrect. |

QUOTE(fletcherwind @ Jun 12 2008, 12:11 PM) I am sure if you pay attention to the environment and work process, you learn more than what you work hands-on. Dont think you sound stupid by expressing what you believe to be true. Whether it is, in fact, true or not. *I did hardcore manual work when I was interning too (e.g. spending hours to find one missing number, spending days to arrange files and index them), it is something to be proud of thanks for the positive reply *I would love to learn how to trade commodities too, it would be quite fun. , im sure that they could make something out of what im going to tell them and i'll explain to them whatever that i was involved with during my internship, coz i am proud of it too if you ask me . Thanks again fletcherwind for some supporting words  for a fresh grad like me. |
