I just rejected Public Bank's offer (through FSTEP Programme), gone for IBM Accounting Trainee. I am invited for an interview with CIMB Complete Banker Programme, but I heard one of my friend was on the programme and she complaint alot about that (not too much to learn, less exposure bla bla bla). Should I give it a shot too?

Don't be too worry, I read in a lot of posts and people tend to ask things like "what kind of questions will be asked" etc. Actually you just need to be yourself, able to tell them more about you (and relate to what you have written on your resume), and a little bit of the company background and the position you applied for. That's it!

If there is anything you need to improve, that will be the calmness, the ability to keep cool and not to get too nervous, then only you can make the interview process interesting, which will probably land you a job.

I have accepted IBM and will start my work life soon.

Weird though... I have never felt nervous during interview (even for my first interview when I was in the UK), I think that's why I got the job when competing with 30 other candidates including the local British students. Why I say that's the reason? Coz Im not particularly good, Im jsut an average person with average result.

Anyway, good luck to all of you who applied to Public Bank, some of you may have heard of Jean De Witt from Public Bank. She is a nice person btw

Prospect wise, I personally think unless you work for Investment Bank, or in oil and gas industry, the prospect (promotion/salary) wouldnt be of huge difference.

Please may I know how much are they paying your friend?

And do let me know how is everything goes for him? very keen to find out
