Yup 1st time to hear this... some of my fren already get hired by the bank and it's through the phone call 1 week after interview.
And those do need receive a call, would indicate failed in the job application.
But for my case =.=" it stuck in the middle

hi, i applied for public bank 2 days ago for trainee credit analyst as well. may i know how long did it took for them to call you for interview? i got quite low cgpa..

They call me 5 days after i submitted the resume (career fair). Based on my observation on 3 of my friends, both of them got cgpa below 3.0, the job offer to them is about sales. Even u submit the cover letter claiming that u want non-sales, at the end, they will offer u sales job also.
Then your choice to accept or reject.
Hope u got different case from my friends =)

congratulations!

May I know how they contact u for interview? by email or by phone?
anyway, how's ur interview?

they called me exactly 3 days (i submitted on friday night) after i submitted my resume, going for interview on nx wednesday. when i told her tat i'm still undergraduate and will b graduating soon, she asked me am i interested bout management trainee..may i know what's the different between the MT she mentioned and trainee credit analyst which i applied for?

she said PBB MT has got no department/job rotation..
will need some advises on interviewing from all seniors here

Yeah no rotation for pbb, this is the main difference between pbb and other banks because I did ask them this question.
They told me that by rotating in different departments for 1 or 2yrs the candidates can't actually learn things in depth and moreover you will not have the chance to select which department you would love to join but for pbb they will ask you what is your interest and they will try to place you in the department you wish to go in.

This is what they told me during my first interview with pbb. And as I know there are 2types of MT, one is related to sales and another one is nonsales. Management trainee can be in any department, I applied for trainee credit analyst but end up they offer me graduate trainee in crm and product development. So I think they will place you accordingly. Not just limited to credit analyst only.

@LivingLife

CRM = Customer relationship management or Credit risk management?

Haha customer relationship management.
I rejected the offer thou, decided to go back to my own field.

got the call to go for an interview, the person who called was aware that i'm not applying for a sale position
however, the position is unknown yet since i only indicated a non sales position and more to operations (deposited my resume during career fair)
they say will see what is right for me during the interview.

after reading some comments here, some said they will offer you position involving sales after the interview, is that true?
and how likely was that gonna happen, don't want to go all the way there and got into sales in the end

Just stress that you are interested in any nonsales related position when you have the interview with HR people.

the career fair u mentioned is the jobstreet one or campus?

ic, which of the position available now on the their webpage is nonsales oriented? besides trainee credit analyst

i went for the jobstreet one, din submit mine back in campus, u got the call too?

then wat u answered? thought you could indicate the position you are interested at first?
