dont know about that, but i got offered 2.8k.. but i did write 3k at expected tho..

btw, i was juz offered a job at PBB for their mgt trainee in the corporate banking department... i read earlier some1 saying that the corporate banking position in PBB is HORRIBLE! i dunno how true this is, but its really making me second guess myself.. whether to apply to other jobs or juz take the PBB offer..

My interview was last wednesday, and they informed me today actually.. so took slightly less than a week for them to reply..
btw, i didnt get the blue or green form after the interview.. so i guess if you dont get the form, it doesnt mean that you wont be hired..

did u go for the interview as well??? or going for an interview???

u were there as well??? mebbe you can still get the job? what position did u apply for? oh and thanks.. really hope corporate banking is a lot better than what others said.

thanks.. ive been allocated to HQ under their corporate banking division..

The interview was pretty simple.. for me it took longer than the others.. my interview lasted around 45mins.. questions were mainly about your personality and traits and some few simple loan questions
all the best to u..

PBB does not pay OT to their officers.. yes sucks i know..

i think its just a question coz depending on ur position, certain branches will require u to come back on sat and sunday to finish ur work.. for some, the work load can be beyond crazy..

so if ur lucky u will get a good branch..

if that is not it, then maybe theyre referring to Sales and Marketing Executives? coz sometimes they do need to work on sat and sun to get sales.. but thats pretty normal for sales ppl..

yes u can tell them that u dont wanna do sales.. they might offer u something else..

even in credit processing (aka loans) u will need to do a little bit of sales.. and honestly, selling insurance/banca is really tough.. not very easy to get ppl to buy..

just let them know that u are really not interested in sales.. even if they dont offer u another position, at least u can find a job elsewhere which might be better.

one thing i know is that its reallllllyyy cold there, but seems to be like a pretty decent place to work.. quiet.. simple.. not that many ppl.. unlike the HQ or branches..

Firstly, its a Graduate Trainee Program which is not the same as management trainee..

U will not rotate within different depts.. its a fixed position.. and if u get offered a position as a Graduate Trainee then yes, you should also be offered RM2,800 in Ipoh branch.. this is their standard for their degree fresh grads..

altho u can try bargaining, see whether can get higher.. coz that one im not sure..

PBB does not have a management trainee program.. they only have what they call graduate trainee.. and its basically an exec position meant for fresh grads.. just send ur resume to them..

Its ok, its quite normal. im sure half of their applications are headed with the title "Management Trainee Programme".

anyway, nop, im not applying, im working there..

sure no prob

Graduate trainees in PBB can be based in HQ as well, it just depends on what ur position is... if they give u a banking front line, credit processing and sales, then u will be in branches, but if they give u a position in corporate banking, credit operations department, treasury etc, then u will be based in the HQ.. all depends on what job u get..

and u dont really have much of a say to where u go once they have decided..

Good luck to all who will be going for the interview..

dont worry too much.. the interview is pretty simple and some ppl will get 3 interviewers and some will get 2.. depends..
